first rev of release announcement for 10.14.1.0

[Rick Hillegas <ri...@gmail.com>]

Here is a first draft of a release announcement for 10.14.1.0. Please 
let me know how I can improve this.

Also, I need a little advice. In the past, I had to ssh to my Apache 
account in order to post a release announcement to announce@apache.org. 
We can no longer ssh to the Apache machines. Any recommendations about 
how to post to announce@apache.org?

Thanks,
-Rick

Thanks, Bryan. I did find your announcement of 10.13.1.1. You sent it 
from your apache account and you included announce@ on the to: line. I 
can't confirm that it went there though.

The release announcement looks great!

I don't recall the details of how (or even if) I posted to announce@
for 10.13. Did you happen to search the archives to see if a mail from
me went out during that release, and, if so, which account I used to
send it?

thanks,
