Jacques, Taher, Michael, please feel free to expand the announce message with the items that are important; considering that it is an announcement and not a user guide we may consider to list the main features in a Wiki page and add the url to it to the announcement.
Jacques, as regards your question about the start date of the release version in Jira, it is the date when the previous active release branch (14.12) was cut: the new release contains all the new features since that date.
