Quick update: behind testing, but the release notes are up. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuStudio feel free to add, remove, edit, etc to make sure we didn't miss any other changes.
Also, got in touch with Set about the website, both Krytarik and I have administrator access, so we should be able to post tomorrow or when needed. Thanks.
