Lots and lots of bug fixes this release for all kinds of quirky stuff.
Which I take as a good sign: the project is maturing to the point where
the most of the major work is in place, with just quirky corner cases now.
Good work everyone!

Note: there was an important bug fix to pnet-0.6.10.tar.gz that was
added after I uploaded the pre-release earlier.  Please refresh your
copies if you downloaded them previously.

NEWS files and MD5 checksums are appended.

Cheers,
