While a bit redundant with the self-upgrade feature, the lack of project mailing lists in Github probably calls for an easy mechanism to notify users and package maintainers of new releases without them having to actively do anything. Watching the project is overkill and won't give you what you need.

I think a good solution to the problem, that doesn't need creating an account anywhere, is an RSS or Atom feed containing the lastest 5 release announcements. It could be generated automatically in the gh-pages branch when a new release is made. Opinions?

Agreed, while we don't have any better solution yet.

I forgot to mention I used to submit new releases to Freecode when I maintained the program, but it totally slipped my mind when I stepped down :-(

The project is writeable by everyone there, so anybody can submit a new release announcement for approval...

Am I the only one or the "feeds" aren't working?

@TigersWay Open a new issue telling us what's the exact problem, http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/update/releases.atom seems to work fine.
