277515 - Release Announcement for Bugzilla 2.18, 2.16.8, and 2.19.2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: bugzilla.org, defect)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

We need to have a written Release Announcement for Bugzilla 2.18.

This will be reprinted as our "press release" most likely, so it should be in
generally-understandable terms, targeted as much at PHBs as at Bugzilla admins.

Please mention http://www.bugzilla.org/installation-list/ briefly in the release
announcement. Then, even if people don't upgrade, they may add themselves.
