[dna-dev] Releasing 0.6

[Randall Hauch]

I've tentatively created a 0.7 release in JIRA and moved into 0.7 all  
of the outstanding issues related to the Eclipse plug-in, the search/ 
query functionality, and a handful of other open issues that were  
previously targeted to 0.6.  The six issues still remain are very  
doable in a short time period.  If you see issues that you think need  
to be in 0.6, please speak up.

Best regards,

Randall
