I haven't been noticing the WebIDE notification that new firmware is available - I'm not sure if that's because I'm just not noticing it, or whether there's been some regression in the IDE. Either way, I don't think it's something that will reliably result in people knowing when new releases are out.
I think an announcement somewhere for each new release would be a good thing (maybe rename the Blog link (everyone ignores "blogs" afaik) and post an update there?). I frequently don't know there's a new release until I do my own build and am like "Woah, the version number jumped, I guess there was a release?"
