Hi all!

The bugfix release Bochs 2.6.1 has been released on May 26th, 2013. Most 
of the files are now available for download, the online documentation 
and the website are up-to-date now.

List of changes:

- CPU
   - VMX: implemented VMENTER to non-active guest state (HLT, SHUTDOWN, 
WAIT-FOR-SIPI)
   - VMX: fixed write of guest segment access rights VMCS fields (32-bit 
field
     was truncated to 16-bit)
   - CPUID: Don't report Architectural Performance Monitoring in CPUID.
     Reporting true capabilities without actually supporting them breaks 
Win7 x64 installation.
   - CPUID: Fixed bx_generic CPUID std leafs (all std leafs > 2 were 
corrupted)
   - CPUID: Enable all supported VMX capabilities for bx_generic CPUID 
configuration.
   - CPUID: Enable X2APIC support for Ivy Bridge CPUDB configuration.

- Configure and compile
   - Enabled VMX compilation by default in shortcut scripts.
   - Allow CPU_LEVEL=5 configurations (pentium_mmx and amd_k2_chomper) 
even when Bochs was
     compiled with CPU_LEVEL > 5.

- Misc
   - Fixes for Bochs port on MorphOS (based on a patch by Thore Sittly):
     missing functions, byte-swapping and cdrom support.
