-I'm proud to release version 1.4.8 of Roundup.
+This is the announcement of version 1.4.18 of Roundup, a Bug-Fix Release
+for a critical bug in roundups mail gateway.
+The bug will lead to files being unlinked from issues when mails without
+attachment are received for an existing issue. See the "Software
+Upgrade" guidelines in doc/announcement.txt (or the html version) for a
+script you can run to find out potentially affected issues and how to
+fix this. As usual some minor features and some bug fixes:
 
-This release fixes some regressions:
+Features:
 
-- bug introduced into hyperdb filter (issue 2550505)
-- bug introduced into CVS export and view (issue 2550529)
-- bugs introduced in the migration to the email package (issue 2550531)
+- Norwegian Bokmal translation by Christian Aastorp
+- Allow to specify additional cc and bcc emails (not roundup users) for
+  nosymessage used by the nosyreaction reactor. (Ralf)
 
-And adds a couple of other fixes:
+Fixed:
 
-- handle bogus pagination values (issue 2550530)
-- fix TLS handling with some SMTP servers (issues 2484879 and 1912923)

-Though some new features made it in also:
-
-- Provide a "no selection" option in web interface selection widgets
-- Debug logging now uses the logging module rather than print
-- Allow CGI frontend to serve XMLRPC requests.
-- Added XMLRPC actions, as well as bridging CGI actions to XMLRPC actions.
-- Optimized large file serving via mod_python / sendfile().
-- Support resuming downloads for (large) files.
+- Fix file-unlink bug in mailgw (Ralfs oversight when refactoring the mail
+  gateway code) -- if a message is sent that contains no attachments,
+  all previous files of the issue are unlinked, thanks to Rafal
+  Bisingier for reporting and proposing a fix.
+  I've now added a regression test that catches this issue.
