Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    ANNOUNCE: Update.
    
    * Clarify email destination instructions.
    * Update count and lists of resolved bugs.
    * Replace "git diff" output with placeholder.
    * Add instructions for how to verify a Base64-encoded SHA256 checksum.
    * Update instructions for how to run "gpg --verify", so the command
      doesn't "assume" the name of file to verified.
    * Add erratum.
    * Slightly improve sed script for extracting news items.
