+== Announcing Releases
+
+Once an RC has passed successfully and the needed artifacts have been staged 
for disribution, you'll need to let everyone know about our shiny new release. 
It's not a requirement, but to make things easier for release managers we have 
a template you can start with. Be sure you replace \_version_ and other markers 
with the relevant version numbers. You should manually verify all links before 
sending.

+The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of HBase 
_version_.
+
+Apache HBase™ is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational 
database.
+Apache HBase gives you low latency random access to billions of rows with
+millions of columns atop non-specialized hardware. To learn more about HBase,
+see https://hbase.apache.org/.
+
+HBase _version_ is the _nth_ minor release in the HBase _major_.x line, which 
aims to
+improve the stability and reliability of HBase. This release includes roughly
+XXX resolved issues not covered by previous _major_.x releases.
+
+Notable new features include:
+- List text descriptions of features that fit on one line
+- Including if JDK or Hadoop support versions changes
+- If the "stable" pointer changes, call that out
+- For those with obvious JIRA IDs, include them (HBASE-YYYYY)
+
+The full list of issues can be found in the included CHANGES.md and 
RELEASENOTES.md,
+or via our issue tracker:

+Cheers,
+The HBase Dev Team
