Hi Steffen,
	In the long term, the ChimeraX Toolshed (basically ChimeraX’s “app store”) will make new features available in a much more incremental fashion that in Chimera, and therefore ChimeraX will have very infrequent formal releases compared to Chimera.  Consequently  it is our plan not just to announce releases on chimerax-announce, but also the availability of major new features in daily builds and/or the Toolshed.  In the short term, actual formal builds (alpha2, beta, etc.) will actually not be that infrequent (every several months) since deployment of features via the Toolshed is not completely implemented yet.
	We will be creating a chimerax-announce list later this week.  We’ll put a note here on chimerax-users when that happens.
