Announcing the Release

After waiting 24 hours for the ASF mirrors to catch up, the release is ready to be announced. Send separate announcement emails to announce@apache.org, announce@cloudstack.apache.org, dev@cloudstack.apache.org, marketing@cloudstack.apache.org and users@cloudstack.apache.org.  This is best done using your apache.org address, so that the announcement gets moderated through to the lists.
