It’s not bad but I’m trying to figure out how it might be improved:
- add a statement capturing the theme of the release - to make it easier to get 
started / create apps
- also note the release includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements
- maybe leave out the source-bundle-only comment
- not sure how much to elaborate in the announcement text itself (e.g., sample 
restructuring, template, packaging tools?)
- not sure how important it is to say here that build tooling has been changed 
to Maven

Maybe replace:

With something like:

Release 1.2.0-incubating makes it easier for users to create Edgent 
applications:
- The release’s binary artifacts are now distributed via the usual Maven 
distribution mechanisms
- The samples were restructured and an application template project and some 
application packaging tools have been added
- There are bug fixes and other enhancements

Just at thought.  You’re the RM so you can decide :-)
