In this solution from Yuki Tanabe RSS fans can subscribe to the Google Apps Script release notes.

> This enables you to register Apps Script Release Notes as RSS feed.

RSS data feeds might be less fashionable now, but I for one still rely on them as a way to aggregate and consume latest news. In a conversation with [Pablo Felip**](https://g.dev/pfelipm) and [Kanshi Tanaike**](https://g.dev/tanaike), this solution from [Yuki Tanabe**](https://g.dev/tanabee) for turning the [Google Apps Script release notes**](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/releases) into an RSS feed was highlighted.  You can visit the source link for the RSS link to add to your feed aggregator.

Even if you are not a fan of RSS this project might be worth checking out as the solution implements the cheerio library for parsing/extracting content from HTML markup … or in other words a very simply way to use `UrlFetchApp` as a web scraper.
