9.6 Announcing Releases

When you have a new release, please make an announcement. For official new releases, including those made just to fix bugs, we recommend using the (moderated) general GNU announcements list, info-gnu@gnu.org. Doing so makes it easier for users and developers to find the latest GNU releases. On the other hand, please do not announce test releases on info-gnu unless it's an unusual situation.

You can maintain your own mailing list (typically info-program@gnu.org) for announcements as well if you like. For your own list, you can decide as you see fit what events are worth announcing. (See Mail, for more suggestions on handling mail for your package.)
