It is a cosmetic change and does not indicate anything of significance, so there was no announcement or celebration because there is nothing to announce or celebrate.
I was slightly amused to see this release happen just a few weeks after I stumbled upon this website on "Software's most popular versioning scheme":

However even then Bitcoin was already marked as having left the school of ZeroVer, so they probably kept close tabs on Bitcoin Core's development.
