RTEMS 6.1 Released

The RTEMS Project is proud to announce the availability of the 6.1 release of RTEMS. It is available from https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/6/6.1/ which includes formatted documentation, all source code, and generated Doxygen. The core developers are quite proud of this release with many features added or improved. The build system has been changed from GNU autoconf/automake to the Python based Waf which has resulted in much faster build times. The main RTEMS source repository no longer contains a network stack with the user having a choice of LibBSD, lwIP, or the legacy stack. Another important change is that a significant portion of the code has been relicensed to the 2-Clause BSD License. If you have submitted source code in the past to the RTEMS Project and not given permission via issue 3053, we would appreciate you doing so. See the release notes for more details.

We hope the user community enjoys this release as we think they will.
