It’s not towards the end but much earlier. There was a placeholder page in confluence that was created at the start of the process. Having said that, we’ve generally not spent as much time in the release announcement.
While I respect everyone’s recommendations, I plan to wrap the release as soon as I am able to find the time later today. The artifacts have already been pushed out and I need to wrap up the website updates etc. There is a mention of the release UI, the index upgrade improvements, etc. already and we shouldn’t stall the release for the announcement.
