annotate doc/announcement.txt @ 4492:5d43b2a5eb69

Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
test that announcement.txt is pure ASCII... ...required at least up to python2.5 by distutils. (Note tht doc/announcement.txt is the *old* announcement from the last release, I've changed it so that setup.py will work for now and to illustrate what needed to be changed).
