Hi Bigtoppers, This announcement is ok but the download page needs some work.
The links on the page need to be links to release artifacts, not links to directories. The way it is set up now, the user has to go to the mirror and look around for the artifact to download, and there is no obvious place to find the corresponding asc and sha512. The links to the asc and sha files should refer to archives only for non-current releases. The current release links should be to apache.org/dist, not archive.apache.org/dist. If you can fix the download page timely, please let us know so we can moderate this announcement before it times out.
