Thanks Valentin, LGTM.

I've made a few tweaks, attached, which I think sharpen it a bit.

I've read plenty of release announcements, but my reaction is
different -- marketing make feel greasy and icky.  I had five
years of training to be as precise as possible in my analytic
philosophy degree; I hate empty phrases like "50 new features".

Oh, come on.  I hate marketing as much as you do, but we are not
selling anything to people who don't need it.  We've had this debate
many times, and you know how important I think it is to raise people's
enthusiasm in such projects.

If we'd finished GDP months ago and had begun a GWP, these would
be in the official FAQ (and most of the current questions in the
FAQ would be gone).  But since we didn't, they aren't.

Yeah, tell me about it... (sigh)

Anyway, here's a beta release announcement full of empty happy
stances; hope you guys enjoy it :-)

Cheers,
Valentin
