General Discussion / Re: E-Mail Notify when new Firmware is available

Hi,
We've deprecated mailing lists a long time ago. It wasn't my favourite decision to carry forward but it has been good and I'm not missing it.
The technical machinery between a user wanting an update mail in a free product but having to register somewhere dumping personal information like an email address is challenging in terms of data protection and maintenance costs. We would like to simply avoid it.
The API has means to check for new versions and so has Monit. The setup isn't ideal because the technical part is offloaded to you, but at least you are in charge of your data and frequency and format.
Cheers,
Franco
