For VPS customers, every new stable tested release gets a new tag, identified by the date on which we release the tag. For example, the release on January 29th, 2008 gets the tag 2008-01-29. We will add notes to our update page as to what new features, security updates and fixes that we include in each tag.

When we release a tested and stable version that includes new features, we will publish a story to the front page of support.bryght.com, as well as add notes to our update page with a separate page for each release.
