<p>A further announcement related to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PuTTY</span></a>: we are retiring the &#39;putty-announce&#39; mailing list for release announcements. Today&#39;s release, 0.85, was announced by email to that list, but it&#39;s the last one that we will announce that way.</p><p>Running a mailing list always involved a lot of work dealing with bounces from defunct addresses and email from ticketing systems that people had subscribed to the list. But now we&#39;ve been starting to find that we&#39;re accused of spam, because people will leave a company, forget to unsubscribe from putty-announce, and after a few months, their ex-employer will turn their old address into a spam trap.</p><p>As an alternative announcement mechanism, I&#39;ve set up an RSS feed. See <a href="https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/updates.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath</span><span class="invisible">am/putty/updates.html</span></a></p><p>(Of course, anyone reading this toot is probably receiving release announcements anyway via my Mastodon account! But if you were also using the mailing list, please spread the word that it&#39;s going away.)</p>
