2.6 Release announcement

[Lei YU]

Hi Brad, Kurt,

The 2.6.0 tag is a bit weird, that `git describe` does not correctly get the
latest tag:

    $ git describe
    2.6.0-rc1-242-g073a600a0

This results in `/etc/os-release` to report the build is not from the 2.6.0
tag but from 2.6.0-rc1.

Some investigations:

* Both `git describe --tags` and `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags` shows the
latest tag is `2.6.0-rc1`:

    $ git describe --tags
    2.6.0-rc1-242-g073a600a0
    $ git describe --abbrev=0 --tags
    2.6.0-rc1

* The only way to get the latest tag is with below command:

    $ git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)
    2.6.0

* It indicates that the tag 2.6.0 is not on the master branch.

    $ git branch --contains tags/2.6.0

    $ git branch --contains tags/2.6.0-rc1
    * master

Could you help to check and hopefully fix this?

Thanks!
