Whenever I release a new extension, I post it under XKit News section of the control panel so everyone, including people who chose not to follow this blog can be notified (and even if they are following this blog, timezone differences make it impossible for some to see the post).

I’ve received a lot of asks, and saw posts under the XKit tag asking and/or complaining about the notifications these last two days, so if you don’t like the news or updates, here’s how you can turn them off:

For XKit Mail, first “read” the unread messages by clicking on them, then go to XKit Control Panel > Others > News Notifications.

For the update notifications (“XKit updated ___ extensions”), go to XKit Control Panel > Others > Update Notifications.

The instructions are also available on the FAQ page.
