Was there some notification of this change sent directly to all github users? I checked email and didn't find any references to the change from github. Is there some other automated system to become aware of changes like this, other than stumbling upon a HN post? Edit: Also looking here https://github.blog/changelog/ https://github.blog/changelog/ I don't see a related notification. I'm probably missing it though because there seems to be a lot of noise.

> Was there some notification of this change sent directly to all github users? I checked email and didn't find any references to the change from github. Same here. No notification email as far as I can find. (Through this might depend on your notification settings? I have mine set to the minimal.) >Is there some other automated system to become aware of changes like this, other than stumbling upon a HN post? Github offer the web changelog, their RSS changelog, and the Twitter account @GHchangelog. These three all relay the same information, and ironically all three missed announcing this important change. Instead they posted a blog post[0] which was not linked at all by the changelogs. So to answer your question: you need to follow all updates on both https://github.blog/changelog https://github.blog/changelog AND https://github.blog https://github.blog.
