Question to the mods. Might there be a better sub-group in this forum to place such announcements?

Anyone chime in here, perhaps ' Debian News ' if you'd like since it is a official repo package. I'm not sure of any visibility difference?

As this is an upstream release and not in Debian repositories yet, I would say Off-Topic is the appropriate subforum.
Typically, even Debian repo package upgrades are not announced in the forums.
