Hi

Can someone clarify the best way to stay informed on new named releases?  
I see them listed here: [Open edX Named Releases — Open edX Developer Docs 1.0.0 documentation](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-developer-docs/en/latest/named_releases.html)

but there isn’t an obvious way to be mailed with notification? Tracking edits to the above page would be one (non ideal) way but I don’t see any way to do this?

Is there a very specific mailing list I can sign up to for just release announcements?

Thanks

Richard

If you want to know when releases are official, there are a few ways:

- The [Open edX blog](https://openedx.org/blog) always has blog posts about them.
- The [Announcements - Releases category](https://discuss.openedx.org/c/announcements/releases/21) here has posts about the releases.

If you want to be involved in the testing process, you can watch the [Build-Test-Release category](https://discuss.openedx.org/c/working-groups/build-test-release/30) here.

We don’t have a mailing list specifically for releases, but you can “watch” in Discourse, and get an email when new topics are posted.
