[ANNOUNCE] Bigtop 0.8.0 release

On behalf of the Apache Bigtop team, I'd love to announce the general
availability of the Bigtop 0.8.0 release (the website is being updated right
now).

A few notable new features in this release include:
    * Based on latest stable Hadoop 2.4.1
    * HBase 0.98.5
    * latest version of Phoenix, the Apache HBase SQL layer project
    * Groovy runtime is added to the stack to improve user experience
    * and many upgrades to the latest versions for the 
      ecosystem projects (Solr, Giraph, etc.)

It is a major milestone in the Bigtop life-cycle with almost 200 bugs fixed
and new features added.

Deploying Bigtop is easy: grab the repo/list file for your favorite Linux
distribution:
    http://www.apache.org/dist/bigtop/bigtop-0.8.0/repos/
and you'll be running your very own bigdata cluster in no time!

Thanks,
  Cos (Bigtop 0.8.0 Release Manager)
