[dna-dev] Releasing 0.6

[Randall Hauch]

The Eclipse plugin is coming along very nice, but I almost prefer  
going with the current trunk (plus any critical issues), and have the  
Eclipse and query/search features show up in 0.7.  Then 0.6 becomes  
more of an improvement over 0.5, whereas 0.7 would be another big-bang  
features release.
