Is there a site which simply outputs the latest stable version numbers of php and mysql?

Question

I want to write a little app for myself which notifies me if there is a new version of php or mysql but I would need a feed or an xml file to read it from.

Answer 1

PHP.net provides one http://www.php.net/releases/index.php?serialize=1

An alternative that may allow you to add additional software later is looking into the feeds provided by freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/mysql/

Answer 2

You could probably subscribe to www.freshmeat.net's rss feed and only react when an even numbered version shows up.
