[DISCUSS] Branch for 0.6.0

[Kevin Minder]

Hi Everyone,
I believe that there have been some new enhancements recently and we should 
begin the process of preparing for a release.  In particular I would like to 
volunteer to be the release manager and to propose branching for an 0.6.0 
release Friday say 4pm eastern.  If this would cause undue complexity for 
anyone, lets talk about it.
Kevin.
