[plt-dev] Release Announcement for v4.2.5 -- 2nd call

This discussion is an instance of something I have an opinion on.

I think we should be more verbose in our release notes about what is
new and different. I feel like the desire to only mention really
visible changes is motivated by a focus on our educational users. We
already have a separate plt-edu announcement, so I don't see the need
to be tight lipped generally.
