Announcing the release of BLCR 0.6.1

• Previous message: caldwelln: "Rising tensions as Rice,"

To fix minor problems in 0.6.0, I am releasing BLCR 0.6.1.  It can
be found at the BLCR Downloads page:
http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml

 From the NEWS file:

0.6.1
--------
September 25, 2007
Bug-fix release
  - This release resolves build and run-time issues seen on Debian "sid".
  - This release eliminates the need to manually set __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ at
    configure time (ARM platform only).
  - This release fixes a file descriptor leak that occurred on failure of a
    checkpoint requested using any of the cr_request{,_file,_fd}() calls.
  - This release fixes a race condition and a LinuxThreads incompatibility
    in the "hooks" test (which is not run by default).


This release does not contain any additional functionality over 0.6.0. 
So, if you have not encountered any of the issues listed above there is 
no pressing reason to update at this time.

-Paul
