It is pointless to test a pretest version after the release of the real version, so pretester *should* always be informed of new releases. I thought that was obvious and it was only by mistake that pretesters haven't been informed of the last couple (or more?) of releases, but if you think it's natural that pretesters don't know if there have been a release I guess this must be pointed out to avoid the same situation happening again in the future.
