I agree, the changelog discussion belongs on the mailing list.  As  
such, I've CC'ed it there.

I think your decision with regards to number 2 is the right one.  In  
terms of changes from the previous version that makes no sense.

I'm for making some broader announcement about what has changed.  Some  
sort of release announcement, as it were.  That way we can talk in a  
broader sense about what has changed.  I've been working on an outline  
for this.  Ray, since it was you who picked the codename for the  
release, do you want to say anything about why you chose it?  I'll put  
my outline on an etherpad later today.
