Description
Just wondering the above. GitHub's Watch Releases feature doesn't work because the project has no releases in the GitHub sense. The official OpenVPN download pages RSS feed links to comments only and not the actual releases. This renders staying fully patched extremely difficult. Any ideas?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the issue's constraints around GitHub Watches and the official download-page RSS feed, then define a concrete notification approach. Done should mean users can reliably learn when a patched client version is available.
