We didn't update WHATSNEW!

My suggestion:

What's new in 1.0.4 compared to LyX version 1.0.3?
--------------------------------------------------

LyX 1.0.4 is a minor update to LyX 1.0.3. Besides fixing some bugs
compared to version 1.0.3 and enhancing stability, it adds the following
features:

- DocBook support

- new layouts: aastex, revtex4, g-brief (german letter)

- better handling of custom pagesizes

- more document files translated to other languages
--------------------------------------------------

Did I miss anything? While we're at it, ANNOUNCE should list 1.0.4 at the top
*and* in the ftp links. Would there be a way to use fancy RCS/CVS commands
to automatically put the right version numbers in there? E.g. if you set the
name (rcs -n) to, e.g., "1.0.4" or "1.0.4pre4" right before releasing
preversions, then you would just recheck out everything and the right
version numbers would be in there (e.g. you would linke to
ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-$Name$.tar.gz. 

Of course this wouldn't fix WHATSNEW. A weird and possibly nonworking idea
would be to also give the web pages this name, so that the download pages
automatically pointed to the right place. I mean, we're not going to have
any other reason to name the web site versions, right?
