Ok here's my first draft. Please edit boldly. Understand I intentionally tried to expand this one as I'M hoping these announcements will not only say we are putting out the next release but help to bring in more people, show them the width and breath of the product (like support from major players like Cisco) and get us some more press coverage and more adoption.
I know we usually keep this sweet and simple, but I think we need to up our message as well and show the maturity in our announcements as well. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/4.2+Release+Announce ment Let me know what you think.
