ANNOUNCE: Update.
* We're now at 24 months since since rc1. * Consistently set macro package names in single quotes. * Recharacterize the mom macro package as "contributed", since it is in groff's contrib directory; this is more consistent with other items. * Add Italian localization as a headline item, on my own initiative.
