New Firmware Notifications

Like this router post, I'd love a subscription service for new firmware notifications. An RSS feed would be great (I can provide some PHP code that scans for files in a directory and generates an XML file), email subscriptions may be more modern and would also work for me. The web framework at GL.iNet download center or https://fw.gl-inet.com/kvm/rm1/release/ don't on the surface play nicely with page scraping.

My ultimate goal is to get a Slack notification on a new firmware version, for other devices I use a mix of RSS feeds, email parsing to a dedicated address, and page scraping to send that notification.

We will notify KVM users every time we update the firmware, but you need to subscribe to our emails.

It appears that there's only one list, is there any chance you could split things up a bit more? New Product Announcements and marketing should preferably be different from specific product firmware notifications (it would be great for the latter to have something easily parseable like a direct link to the firmware [without Mailchimp tracking link munging] or some metadata tag).

Thanks for the suggestion.
We are planning on adding a “firmware update only” email subscription on the Firmware Download Center and will do specific targeting on which product the unique contact subscribed to.
