It seems obvious to me that you are right and these should be removed.
I'll prepare a patch.

Thanks, Robbie. That's excellent.
Here's the release announcement that I have prepared. It's based very
much on yours for 0.8. I'll send this out this evening. Any comments or
suggestions in the mean time would be appreciated.

The Apache Qpid community is pleased to announce the immediate
availability of Apache Qpid 0.10.
Apache Qpid (http://qpid.apache.org) is a cross-platform enterprise
messaging solution which implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
(AMQP, http://www.amqp.org). It provides brokers written in C++ and Java,
along with clients for C++, Java JMS, .Net, Python, and Ruby.
Qpid 0.10 is available from our website:
http://qpid.apache.org/download.cgi
The 0.10 release has undergone a lot of bug fixing and feature
enhancement. We recommend that all users upgrade. A few changes of note:
- The C++ broker now supports priority-ordered message queueing
- The C++ broker and client now implement producer flow control
- The Java JMS client is now available via Maven
A comprehensive list of features, improvements, and bugs resolved in the
0.10 release is available here:
http://qpid.apache.org/release_notes_0.10.html
Thanks to all the users and contributors who have helped to improve Apache
Qpid.

I waited and waited and that email never seemed to arrive back, so
after another announcement arrived later on I sent it again (using a
different, non-Gmail based method) and it actually turned up this
time. That said, note to self: check the mail archives first next time
just in case Gmail is doing something odd and not actually showing you
a message you sent+received that everyone else actually did get. Oh
well, double announcement, oops... :P

Done, its just waiting for moderation onto the list and so should
hopefully show up shortly. I bungled the email and forgot to add our
user and dev lists to it, so I sent that on separately :)

Thank you, Robbie.
I have one more thing to ask. I sampled some previous announcements, and
they're all from @apache.org mail addresses. I don't have one of those to
send from, and I want to avoid any faux pas. Would you post the release
announcement to announce@apache.org?

My bad, I simply put together a similar page to the one I did previously to
consolidate the JIRA issues. I have applied Justin's patch to update it.

Justin, the above link does not seem to contain the following sections.
"Changes requiring user attention"
"Known issues"
Is this deliberate or was this an oversight ?
I would prefer if we can include the above in our release notes as well.
Also it would be nice if we can link the above page (release notes
page) from our download or 0.10 documentation page.
