[coherence-dev] Ann: Coherence release 0.6.6

[Jean-Michel Sizun]

Thanks to you, dev, for this release and thanks to everyone who made it 
possible.

The scene was quite silent these last few weeks. However, as noted 
earlier, there were enough interesting goodies down the basket. :-)
[Note to the debian packager] Egoistically, I hope the sid/lenny package 
will soon follow.

Good luck on consoliding the Mirabeau UPnP bridge in the next weeks.
On my part, I already have a lot of ideas of things to be done with the 
framework and the backends. Hopefully, some of them will see the light.

Regards and best wishes,
Jean-Michel
