[OPSEC/Computer] TAILS update notifications?

I had to do the whole manual update and shit because I don't boot on TAILS too frequently, so I'm hoping I can be notified in some way to maintain the ease of use that comes with automated updates. Or are updates scheduled?

Anyone know how to keep things convenient for us occasional users?

I'm like you. Just add them to your Twitter feed or join their list serv. The email route is prolly best.

Once an update is out...you will find out same day.

Uhm... it already does notify you automatically. When you connect to tor with tails and the onion appears on the top right, if there is a new version available, within a minute or less, a popup will appear notifying you of this fact. Normally, you just click to update and it does the rest. The second to last update was slightly different and did require a little more manual work than usual, but you still should have got the automatic popup notification that you were using an older version.

And yes, there are monthly scheduled upgrades.

You might want to verify your tails ISO if you haven't been getting the notification.
