[Xenomai] [Announce] Xenomai v2.6.1

[Gilles Chanteperdrix <gilles.chanteperdrix@xenomai.org>]

Hi,

At long last, please find Xenomai 2.6.1 at the following URL:
http://download.gna.org/xenomai/stable/xenomai-2.6.1.tar.bz2

We have been waiting so long since 2.6.0 that quite a few commits
happened. To try and summarize, we got:
* fixes, there are too many to list there, see the shortlog

* the usual updates of I-pipe patches, the main one being the I-pipe
core 3.2 patch, by Philippe, a much simplified and refactored version
of the Adeos patch.

The complete shortlog follows.
Thanks to all those who have contributed.
Regards.
