Alerts and feeds

This page covers the three ways release news is pushed to you — weekly email alerts, the public RSS feed, and your personal stack RSS — and how to set them up.

Weekly email alerts

A summary email arrives only when your stack (the projects you follow) has changes that need action. What counts as "action needed" is defined in Understanding the data.

Prerequisites

  • An account (GitHub or Google sign-in).

Setup

  1. Register projects in your stack at /settings.
  2. Turn alerts on from the same page. They are off by default, with separate toggles for breaking and security alerts.
  3. Email language follows your account's language setting (English if unset).

Delivery rules

  • Send time: every Sunday at 10:00 UTC.
  • Window: releases published during the previous UTC calendar week (Sunday through Saturday).
  • No email on weeks with no action items.

Public RSS

Follow the full release stream in your reader. No account needed.

https://ratatosk.io/feed.xml
Parameter Values Description
lang en ko ja Summary language (default en)
limit 1–200 Number of items (default 50; out of range is silently clamped)

Entries include the complete summary, so you can read everything without leaving your reader. Most readers find the feed from ratatosk.io alone; if yours doesn't, paste the URL above directly.

Personal stack RSS

A feed of your own, carrying only your stack's releases.

  1. Issue a feed token at /settings.
  2. Add the issued URL to your reader:
https://ratatosk.io/feed.xml?token=<your token>
  • lang and limit work exactly as on the public feed.
  • The type filter is available only on personal feeds:
    • type=security — only releases with security action items
    • type=breaking — only releases with compatibility-breaking action items
    • Both types are defined by the same "action needed" criteria in Understanding the data.
  • The token can be reissued at any time in /settings (invalidating the old one). Treat the URL like a password — anyone who knows it can see what is in your stack.

Troubleshooting

No email arriving — check in order:

  1. Does your stack at /settings have projects registered? An empty stack has nothing to send.
  2. Is the alert toggle on? Alerts are off by default; forgetting to turn them on after registering a stack is the most common cause.
  3. Were there actually action items last week? Check your stack projects' recent releases at /releases. No email on a quiet week is normal.

Personal feed returns 401: the token was reissued and the old one invalidated. Copy the current URL from /settings again.

Personal feed is empty: an empty stack produces an empty feed by design. Register projects in your stack.
