I am pleased to announce a new version of bloom!

First some things everyone using bloom needs to know:

There is a tutorial for using virtualenv to get bloom 0.3.5 for releasing in Fuerte: http://ros.org/wiki/bloom/Tutorials/ReleasingForFuerte

All repositories will be automatically updated to reflect this next time they are used.
I have updated all the tutorials/docs I can find, but please report anything that is inconsistent with this change.

Now some new features of bloom 0.4.0:

The README.md on the master branch is now updated with recent changes, which gives a nice overview.

You can now generate debian files for an individual catkin package, by passing the git based release repository, see `bloom-generate [ros]debian -h`
CHANGELOG.rst files are now parsed and inserted into .debs

The full changelog can be seen here:

I highly recommend everyone update and give it a try next time you are releasing a package. Please report and any issues you encounter here:

Happy releasing!
