It would be cool to have a press release at the same time or in the days 
that follow the official release, but I don't have time to undertake 
that now. If anyone wants to take this on, then FYI my official release 
announcement on Monday will consist mostly of the "highlight of 
features/enhancements" that I had included in the beta1 announcement, 
plus a few notes about this being the AGG release, where to get the 
files, etc.

You can still find the beta1 announcement here if:

BTW, should this be added to the list of tasks that the release manager 
should include in the release planning?
