This is the second time this has happened (I spot a bug and some informs me that the latest release has already fixed it).
I try and check for updates once a month but isn't there perhaps a mailing list here or in Gitlab that could notify me whenever a new version is released?
I don't know if there is a mailing list but you could always set an RSS feed for https://discourse.joplinapp.org/c/news.rss as that is where the big announcements go.
You can also set Discourse to send periodic emails or set up your GitHub account to do the same.
Thanks for the feed; I've subscribed.
Discourse does send me mails from the forum, but only the replies to my questions; how do I get it to send me updates on new releases?
I'll check github, but the feed should suffice.
It isn't that granular I don't think. You can get it to send you a "digest" if you don't visit the forum in a while or you can turn mailing list mode on where it will just send you everything and you can probably set rules in your email to filter it on certain tags in the content.
