There's only one public ESS - list and that's where the
announcement went --- on July 28 .
{ I had 'BCC:'ed it to ESS-debian,
  but my mailing list filters don't accept postings via BCC. }

Here's the svn log :

Version 5.3.8

The changes since then are too little for a new release (5.3.9).
But I think debian should release 5.3.8 proper (i.e. up to rev 3929).
