release announcement

[Matthew Fluet]

My only suggestion would be to include the What's new? section from the
web page in the announcement, and maybe any other big highlights from the
CHANGES file (GC improvements, strict overflow exceptions, new
contification analysis, etc.).  Otherwise, looks great.
