Is it possible to get ‘a heads up’ some days before an update is released? This is specially usefull when the update includes security fixes, so i can make some arrangements and apply them as soon as possible. BTW i’m not member of any mailing list, so maybe there is one that does that already. * Greetz * [ingaoz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ingaoz/) * (@ingaoz) * [18 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-221/#post-583197) * I did all as written in instructions to upgrade my blog to latest version.
