Firmware Email Notification - A100 ONLY

[chris57]

This idea came from forum members, thanks to ajr, Lakes and De1Phi4n.

As there is no auto notification of stable firmware releases if you want to be notified by email when a new firmware is released then please click on the 'Subscribe to this topic' link bottom left.

As soon as a stable is released whichever Mod notices first will unlock and add the firmware release notes thereby emailing all those that have 'subscribed the topic'.

Edit
Updated.

[jsa]

Please do NOT post in the thread, just select the link "Watch this topic for replies" which is at the bottom left of the page.

This way we will not get a mail every time someone requests to be notified, but only get a mail when there is an actual firmware update!
