i looked at the download > modules section and noticed it is sorted alphabetically. is there a way to find out when the module was last updated? is there a list of newly released modules? how do i know when to update my modules?

is there a way to find out
Go here: http://drupal.org/project/Modules
Click on 4.6 or cvs or any version you like.
Click on Browse CVS (If a module does not have that, then just hover your mouse over the Download, and take the module name (the part after the last / and before the -4.x.x part)
This will be something like this (Adsense module as an example)
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/
EDIT: Then click on the module you are interested in, to show the files included in them.
Click on "Show files using tag" and select the tag that corresponds to the release you are interested in (e.g DRUPAL-4-6 for 4.6.x, or HEAD for latest).
You will see something like:
adsense.module 1.20 6 days kbahey #31833 Missing comma caused a syntax error.So, that module was updated for 4.6 6 days ago.
Despite the project page saying: (4.6.0, 26/05/2005 - 04:58)
This is all a bit too much, but it will get you the info needed.
Yes. Here it is http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14

very useful info for me ... thanks!
I'm assuming (correct me if i'm wrong) that if I use DRUPAL-4-6
then it's a stable release and HEAD is beta. Hopefully there's a better system in the future, but at least I can now try to stay updated. I guess I can just download each of the latest one and overwrite the old one.
As for the newly released modules page, is there a link i missed on the frontpage?
Thanks to you, I have another excuse to be glued to my seat and reading the drupal site. ;)

Yes, HEAD is beta, and in
Yes, HEAD is beta, and in flux.
Unless you are a developer and need something specific that is not in the latest stable release, you want to go with 4.6.
You did not miss a link. Someone mentioned that a while back, and I bookmarked it.

Will someone from Drupal.org please highlight this
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14
And the feed of it
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0/feed
Should be in BIG print and obvious on the main module page.
Support!
Support!
I think they should add a tab like "newly-released modules" in the main page of "module".
Not many people know its existence.
Ideally in Downloads
Ideally, when you click Downloads -> Modules, a link to this should be at the top of the page.
http://drupal.org/project/Modules
I would have done it if I had access to that part, but I don't.

Nice
Nice. This will help.
But, it is better to have it right on the the Modules page, and perhaps a similar one for the Themes as well.

Those pages are part of
Those pages are part of project and probably php generated content. Most site maintainers can't modify php type pages on Drupal.org.
There are any number of features to keep you updated on various aspects of modules and such that many people just don't use, poke around and find, etc.
Drupal.org has a lot of content. I am kind of picturing an overall 'misc resources and things on Drupal.org' page. The links first, so that they will be there, then over time add to it.

Thanks, Khalid. The fact of
Thanks, Khalid. The fact of the tarball not reflecting the date of the last update has been driving me (and possibly other non-programmer types) nuts.
This will certainly help although it is one step too many. Imagine if you are looking at a dozen modules for their latest updates.
