Email list for new releases?

Deadline
#1

Many software vendors allow customers to subscribe to new release announcements via email. Is there anything similar for Deadline?

Right now, the only way to discover new releases that I’m aware of is to manually go hunting for news on the website or check the download portal, and I’ve missed a couple of recent patch releases already because of the lack of any sort of notification system.

Thanks.

I’mma make this sticky :slight_smile:

Perfect, thanks!

Now if only there was a way to tell people about the Release Mailer… :wink:

#5

There is, it is called Twitter, that’s how I found out! :smiley:
I went to our Twitter account to see whether we announced the individual patches, and found the Mailer post instead!

I did not receive an email today about the V9.0.1.1 release - I was receiving all the V8.x ones properly. Am I just too early and it’s on its’ way or is there a bug?

Thanks.

#7

It should be going out soon!

Cheers,
Ryan

https://www.awsthinkbox.com/deadline-update-emails is the new URL, we’ll have a redirect from the old one set up soon!

I don’t know what blew up with the old one, just that it blew up.

I’m signed up for this later list, but never received emails about the last two Deadline updates.

Same here, update emails seem sporadic (quick search in gmail shows this)

Did not receive an email about the December release either.

Thanks for the feedback here! I’ll reach out to our marketing folks.

I made sure I was subscribed for the next time so I can know myself whether they’re going out.

Still don’t get email updates for releases, 10.1.15.2 just out but no new notification. I even signed back up to the mailing address with multiple email accounts

#16

Just following up here that I haven’t received notifications about any of the recent releases. I’d really like for this to work so that I don’t have to check here manually to know when Deadline officially supports C4D R25.

Thanks,
Luke

I gave up on getting release emails.

I’ve signed up to sken.io and visualping.io free versions and set daily reports on the release notes page instead.

thinkbox deadline is ridiclious in terms of customer support.

Hello, the last URL that you have shared redirect me to the “contact us” page (AWS Support and Customer Service Contact Info | Amazon Web Services)
Is there a way to be alerted about the release of an update?

At the moment there isn’t a way to be notified. All you can do is keep an eye on the Release History — Deadline 10.3.0.15 documentation.
