Earlier we agreed that we will make the release announcement on the
website when there are binaries available for windows, osx and ubuntu
via the PPA. This are platforms where we control the builds.

If a release is made for a platform before the announcement, I guess
we can just call that a bonus.. but we should not broadcast that the
release is done yet.

I am ok with the PPA packaging a partial release since it packages
them in seperate installable packages. We are doing development in the
open for everyone to see, so this is natural that some peple might
spot an upcomming release before it is made even if the person is not
watching the mailing lists.

I think everything should be ready for next weekend, but feel free to
push the release announcement as a draft to the website repo.
