Ex Astris Scientia maintains a site update log as an RSS feed, which contains all significant changes such as new or extended pages. If you like to stay informed or like to let other fans know, you have the following options.

 

EAS in Social Media

Facebook

EAS site news and some other features are available on Facebook.

Twitter

EAS site updates are no longer available on Twitter aka X because access to the API is insanely expensive. EAS remains on Twitter for now, but I am posting only infrequently.

 

EAS News as a Feed

RSS feeds

The EAS update feed is provided in RSS 2.0 format. This feed comes directly from the EAS server, with no other distributor involved. Common browsers regrettably don't support RSS any longer, so you will need a separate feed reader app, a browser plug-in or an online service such as Feedly.

Update feed  
Comment feed  

There is also a feed with the latest Disqus comments. This one is provided by Disqus and proxied by Feedburner.

Feedly

If you mainly want to read the feeds of your favorite sites, then Feedly is a much better alternative for Google News without all the clutter. Highly recommended!

 

EAS Newsletter

Feedrabbit

EAS does not offer an e-mail newsletter because technical obstacles and maintenance efforts have become extreme. But you can use the free and easy service at Feedrabbit, which is currently the closest thing to a curated newsletter. Add EAS feed to Feedrabbit.
