How can I be notified of important updates/news to the Monero software?

Question

Monero forks twice a year at roughly predictable times. However, it is easy to forget about it, and you end up forked off if you don't update your software in time. How can I be notified of these forks and other important announcements such as any emergency fork that might happen ?

Answer 1

There is now a monero-announce mailing list on which such important announcements will be made:
