Hi,
Keeping up with updates for a lot of apps and services it not always easy, I use a RSS reader like Freshrss to subscribe to all apps and services used to keep track on their updates and changelogs.
For most things this is quite easily possible using the github releases feed, sadly I couldn't find this for kasm, also on the website I could not something like that.
Describe the solution you'd like Could you consider adding an RSS Feed to reflect new releases and possibly changelogs?
Describe alternatives you've considered I tried manually scraping via XPATH, but it requires a lot of work and does not seem ideal for such an application that is also used commercially.

Thanks for your suggestion. Having an RSS for release updates sounds like a good idea.
I will post more updates here as soon as I have any.
@teja-kasm Thanks a lot!
While your at it (let me know if I shall open another issue for this)
I'm also working on https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE which has a script to deploy kasm workspaces on Proxmox Environment (https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=kasm)
Could we also get some sort of way to extract the latest release or direct-url that forwards to latest release?
Currently we use this code in the script to fetch the url for the latest release
curl -fsSL "https://www.kasm.com/downloads" | tr '\n' ' ' | grep -oE 'https://kasm-static-content[^"]*kasm_release_[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[a-z0-9]+\.tar\.gz' | head -n 1
Which works, but always brings up the second latest release as the first one is a hubspot tracking url, I personally don't have an issue with a tracking link, but it would be awesome if there would be any way to extract the latest release reliably.
Thanks for considering this!
