[Xenomai] [RELEASE] Xenomai 3.0-rc6

[Philippe Gerum]

We are getting there. This release fixes a couple of bad bugs including a showstopper for some non-POSIX multi-process applications in dual kernel mode, and a few usability issues. The rest is about cleaning up some legacy leftovers. People using earlier Cobalt releases should definitely upgrade.
