Well, my three favourite methods are:
a) ask Linus (not advisable unless you can call him by phone, he often
enough ignores mail :)
b) check dates on files on ftp sites
c) try to remember announcements on mailing lists and comp.os.linux
None of these are particularly good methods.

I have addressed this issue in a separate posting. (No, I'm not going
to write another 180-line beast. :)
