| If running from the `main` git branch, note that this does not automatically update, and you must do so manually. | ||
| This also applies to other source or development installs, including eg. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-zulip-term-git/ |

Could note about email alerts from that?

Hmm, the email alerts would be stream wide, so I am not sure completely either.

We could ask users to set an alert word, say ZT release, and adhere to it while posting on the stream.

I've updated this to mention the expected topic releases will be made in.

@timabbott Was this what you had in mind for v0? |

@preetmishra Thanks for the thoughts - merging this now after the small update to mention the announce topic as we can iterate from here in various ways once we have a good base 👍 |
This is for the v0 solution at #zulip-terminal>Update alerts (README), namely to document where updates are announced.
I've not seen an obvious way to subscribe to GH or PyPI updates explicitly, so have left it at text for now.
Feedback welcome.
(v1: Add network call to check API updates & warn if out of date, plus note that we call home)
(v2: Add "advanced" config feature to disable calling home?)
