Title: Release notification from github (or else)
Post by: obetz on March 03, 2020, 01:58:39 AM

Hi Phil,

although I watch "Releases only" https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool, I don't get any notification about new releases of ExifTool. I found that other people are affected, too.

Could it be you create tags but no formal releases? See https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/125869/are-there-different-types-of-releases-on-github

Do you know another way to get a mail if a new version is released, so I can promptly prepare a new Windows ZIP file and installer?

Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/exiftool/) sends me emails whenever Phil updates exiftool on that site.

Hi Oliver,

This is github issue number 13 (https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/issues/13). It requires extra steps for me to do the "formal" github release, and I haven't figured out an easy way to do this yet.
