I briefly browsed it and found no obvious errors.
Good work.

Maybe you could mention the new display manager...

Hi all,

I've made some changes; let loose the grammar police!

http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/web/announces/announce_grass570.html

Three outstanding questions:

a) what to say regarding stability? I put the "technology preview" back
in, but commented it out as it isn't exactly right.. I thought "a first
release", while true, made the meaning a bit too obscure/hidden.

b) should the grass logo be included? It always looks nice.
related: Should there be a flat text version for a press release?
5.3.0 too..

c) I'm still not very happy with the first sentence.

c)
What`s wrong with the first sentence? In case, you may add 'milestone', 'top-of-the-edge-technology' or 'border-breaking' - but from my point of view, it is a good first sentence.

b)
When thinking about a press release version, it is helpful to add a few nice colored screenshots in high resolution. Press people love it....

anyway: congratulations, it's good work!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kindest regards

We should get people interested in using it while keeping in
mind that things can change (odd number release).

Good idea, I have added two screenshots.
