A mailing list for Inkscape-related announcements is now available.

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-announce

This is intended to be a low-traffic list for people who don't wish to follow the regular development discussions but do want to know about new releases of Inkscape itself, plugins, events, and so forth.

It's recommended that everyone on inkscape-devel@ subscribe to this list as well.
