Windows:
Java has windows notification, which will intimate about the new version of java..
Can we have some thing like this for node.
Now that we have new version or patch releases are done within every month.. Many of us doesn't look website every day about new version releases..
If there is notification system that alerts about this new versions.This may make most people to upgrade their nodejs versions.

  • Alert everyone if there is security patch releases where this notifications may be more useful.

Linux/Unix/Mac: I don't have an idea. If they do have notification system if it has it can alert about the updates. That would be great..

As far as general releases go, there is an Atom feed here.

For security notices, I believe you can subscribe to the nodejs-sec mailing list.

For notifications, just find an Atom feed reader that supports notifications on new content.

@mscdex The question is why can't installer intimate the users using notifications . Why I need to subscribe for atom feed and sec mailing list.
Installer notifications make it easy to get new updates.

P.S: I already subscribed for atom feeds , twitter notifications and sec mailing list.
