The NOTICE files need to be updated for 2008, i.e. replace 2007 with

The release was rolled on Jan 4th and there are no code changes since
2007, so I'd consider this at best a minor issue, probably even better
to let the date remain 2007.
The hash files use a format which is difficult to use, as the hashes
may be split over two lines.
Not a blocker IMHO, but something we may want to change in future
releases.
GnuPG split the output into two lines because of the length of
prefixed file name. This is trivial to fix.
I guess the checksums were generated with default Solaris tools. You
can use "openssl md5" and "openssl sha1" to generate checksum output
in the format Sebastian described.
I used GnuPG to generate the checksums, an option suggested in
the release signing doc:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#md5
Also the SHA1 hashes normally have the suffix ".sha1" rather than
".sha"
Actually the suffix should be ".sha" and not ".sha1". See the "not
normative" policy (a recommendation? :-) described in
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#policy.
The .sha extension is also mentioned in the in the SHA section
of the release signing doc:
