many thanks for your effords. I have two small comments:

1) It would definitively be nice to get the download links together with
   such an announcement, so it is not necessary to look them up at an
   other place. For example just like this: 

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto/files/gphoto/2.5.26/
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto/files/libgphoto/2.5.26/


2) Regarding the source code packages I have the suggestion to provide
   them as "xz" files as well as those are smaller than bz2 files and
   meanwhile more common for building distibution packages. To implement
   this it is only necessary to apply a small change (add "dist-xz") to
   the respective "configure.ac" file:

   E.g. instead of:
   AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wall -Werror gnu 1.9 dist-bzip2 check-news])
   
   Just:
   AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([-Wall -Werror gnu 1.9 dist-bzip2 dist-xz check-news])

   A "make dist" will then build the respective "xz" files as well.


Kind regards
Guido
