I updated the readme for the release, but didn't do the 'Whats new'. I
can attempt to clean up/edit the press release you did, but probably
wont get to it till tomorrow night. I'm not even sure what to do with a
press release.

I just did a normal release process tonight for 1.8.0, perhaps we can
spend some time slowly updating the other things? (I'm kinda burned out
from the bi-weekly releases the last few months).

PS. We now have HEAD as 1.9.0 and gnucash-1-8-branch for 1.8.0
