<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Even just a simple announcement that a
new tag exists could help it receive testing. That could make
these minor updates more of a real "open source" release, due to
public communication that encourages its use publicly. The extra
testing would help us determine when an Erlang release will not
fail in testing or production due to bugs.<br>

<div dir="ltr">It has been probably answered before, but what is
the reason to not make official release for minor updates? Ie.
when a version is tagged a release could be made available to
the community. Today that could be done using any CI tool so I
guess the reason is other.

<div>I am asking because today an SSL issue was raised in
hackney. I am generally using the latest tag, or recent
version so I didn't noticed that the code I was using wasn't
working for all certificates on previous version:</div>

<div>I am not sure right now how to solve such issue. Is there a
way to test the minor version available? On the other hand
sometimes as a temporary workaround I could point someone to
use the last release. But in this case that not simple, since
it imply a build and in some infrastructure it would be
impossible. How others do?</div>
