Stay up to date with your preferred software. Choose the technique that suits you best to receive email alerts or RSS notification when one of my software is updated.


I post on my blog general announcements and updates about major and minor software releases. You can subscribe to a feed that will let you know each time one of these updates is available. There is also a feed for comments posted on the app pages where users ask questions, suggestions or comments. I generally these comments to post announcement about bug fix releases.

RSS for comments and bug fix release announcements

Major release is when there are significant additions or changes to the app. Then, I change the first digit of a version number (for exemple, "v2.0"). Minor release is for smaller improvements, when the second digit changes (as in "v2.1"). Finally, for bug fix releases, only the third digit of version number changes ("v1.2.3").

RSS Feeds

To stay informed, subscribe to these feeds. If you are new to RSS feeds, I recommend reading this RSS introduction. If you have to choose a feed reader, personally I use Netvibes.
