Hello all you helpful forum-goers,
I need a way to find out in a timely fashion when LabVIEW does a bug-fix patch on one of the LabVIEW development environment versions (e.g. LabVIEW 2017 Professional Development Suite). New version release announcements would be a bonus.
Normally the obvious answer is to run the NI Update Service, but our IT department policies block it. They said they are happy to download updates for me, but only when I request them, which means I have to know when new ones come out.
I found the NI RSS feeds webpage (http://www.ni.com/rss/), and have subscribed to "NI Global News in English", as well as the "NI Blog articles" that I got off of the startup window of LabVIEW, but I'm not sure either will provide what I'm looking for. And when I click on the "LabVIEW" feed on the RSS Feeds page, which links to http://nifeeds.ni.com/f/labview-en, I get a "400 Bad request".
I can subscribe to the LabVIEW forum as a whole (https://forums.ni.com/ni/rss/board?board.id=170), but that obviously includes all forum posts, which is interesting but not very helpful to the task at hand, and again I don't know if it will even include what I am looking for even if I do keep up with it.
Can anyone recommend a better way to periodically check for (or better yet, be notified of) official updates to the LabVIEW development suite software?
Thank you for your time!

The best I currently know of is to periodically check the LabVIEW Patch Details for whatever version you care about (LabVIEW 2019 Patch Details).

Thanks crossrulz, that is a good idea! I'll keep hoping there is a more consolidated solution, but this is better than anything I had yet come up with.
