Newsgroup announcement recipients often have a name like "comp.somegroup.announce". Mailing list announcement recipients often have a name like "toolname-announce". Most software projects that make announcements are open source. In an announcement the subject line commonly contains the abbreviated prefix ANN:. The contents of an announcement usually contain a title line which contains the tool name, version, release name, and date. Additional contents often fall into the following message sections:
* About - a short paragraph summary of the tool's purpose
* Changes - a list of the highest impact changes since the last release (should be brief since the changelog comprises the definitive list)
