[Gluster-users] How to find out about new / current releases?

[Alan Orth]

Hi, all.

I'm curious how we're supposed to find out about new releases. There are
several sources, each of which give either no information, or different
information.

Let me attempt a list of places I've tried just now in an attempt to find
the latest version:

- On GitHub I see there is a v3.6.2 tag[0]
- On Twitter I don't see any release announcements in the @gluster
timeline[1]
- The gluster-users mailing list has no announcements for anything beyond
3.6.0 or so (despite users reporting issues, questions, etc with 3.6.1,
3.6.2-beta2, etc)
- The Gluster website doesn't show an obvious latest version[2], but lists
3.6.1 as the latest in the wiki[3]
- The download server has packages for 3.6.2 for at least several distros
on the repo[4]

Maybe we should have something on the Gluster homepage like on kernel.org,
where they clearly list the stable branches. Also, if someone wrote a blog
post on gluster.org, with at least a `git shortlog v3.6.1..v3.6.2`, then
all announcements on Twitter, mailing list, IRC channel topic, etc could
point to the one blog post.

Regards!

Alan
