No, the last milestone-related press release was the Commons reaching
100,000 uploads, which, despite not being sent out to many places
(<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Press_releases/100K/log-en>),
did see some press coverage, mostly in Germany
(<http://news.google.com/news?hl=de&q=wikimedia>)

Also, as Przykuta notes, the milestone will be shortly before
Wikimania, so the release need not focus only on the milestone, but
include details of the conference, since we should know by then who
most of the speakers are, meaning we will have something other than a
new milestone to announce.

Angela.
