Send it to the announce list. You can see other announcements and get some ideas here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-announce/201703.mbox/browser <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-announce/201703.mbox/browser>
Yes, it’s an opportunity to describe your mission (and unique technology) in a bit more detail. The list has a wide audience (e.g. I get pings from analysts after announcing a calcite release there) so use the exposure widely. Also, it can be the first tweet on that long-neglected https://twitter.com/ApacheQuickstep <https://twitter.com/ApacheQuickstep> account. On the downloads page I would include the date of the release and a link to the release notes/history. You will want to describe the baseline functionality that is in this release so that next release you can describe what is new. At this point some projects have a “status” page describing in bullet points what is working and what is not working.
