Notifications for new Github project releases?
GithubGithub Problem Overview
I'm using a library from a Github project. Is there some way to set up a notification for new project releases?
For example, I want to know when a new release appears here
I know I can be notified on every issue update, but that's not what I'm looking for. Though I see some projects are using that as a way to keep people notified

Solution 1 - Github
Don't know about email, but you can subscribe to RSS Atom feed with releases:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js/releases.atom
or tags:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js/tags.atom
EDIT:
To get notification via email you can use Sibbell.com or RSS-to-email service like Blogtrottr.

Another option is to sign up for auto notifications via:
- https://libraries.io
- https://gitpunch.com (currently not sending emails)
- https://coderelease.io (currently not sending emails)
- https://releases.netlify.com (does not send emails)
Setup a job to call a webhook:
- https://github.com/justwatchcom/github-releases-notifier
- https://github.com/femtopixel/github-release-notifier
Or if you would like to get a notification when the atom feed is updated, you can use these (in addition to the ones indicated by Mikalai): https://www.softfluent.com/blog/dev/Be-notified-when-a-new-release-is-created-in-a-GitHub-repository

Solution 4 - Github
I made a Ver.bot, which can send GitHub projects notifications about new version release. Besides GitHub projects, you can also subscribe npm, PyPI projects. The bot is currently on Slack, Telegram and Skype.

I recommend using rss2email. You can set it up and run it on every OS with python installed.
Solution 6 - Github
Touchpine monitors open source projects and will notify you when there are new releases. If the project you want to follow isn't already monitored, you can request it be added.
Solution 7 - Github
I'm a little late to the party I know, but Axibase has a nice little tool to leverage GitHub's webhook functionality to notify you via some third-party messenger service (or email if you so choose) whenever someone creates a new project in one of your repositories.
The workflow above describes the underlying process, and this guide will walk you through the set-up step by step. The entire process takes around 10 minutes to complete.
Disclaimer: I've worked for the team that developed ATSD, which is the database used for these notifications.
