To simplify the installation and management of ZFS we have set up new
repositories for Debian, Fedora, and RHEL/CentOS. They can be found at
the following URLs.

Debian: Add to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src deb http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/debian wheezy main

Fedora: See http://zfsonlinux.org/fedora for directions.
rpm http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
srpm http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/fedora/$releasever/SRPMS

RHEL/CentOS: See http://zfsonlinux.org/epel for directions.
rpm http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/epel/$releasever/$basearch
spms http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/epel/$releasever/SRPMS

In addition to the usual bug fixes the 0.6.1 release introduces a new
property called 'snapdev'. The 'snapdev' property was introduced to
control the visibility of zvol snapshot devices and may be set to
either 'visible' or 'hidden'. When set to 'hidden', which is the
default, zvol snapshot devices will not be created under /dev/.
To gain access to these devices the property must be set to 'visible'
This behavior is analogous to the existing 'snapdir' property.

Other significant changes include:
* Added Linux 3.9 compatibility
* Added snapdev property to control visibility of zvol snapshots.
* Disabled old on-disk format warning for `zpool status -x`.
* Enabled zfs_arc_memory_throttle_disable by default.
* Improved slab object reclaim behavior.
* Fixed disk cache flushing for 2.6.37 and newer kernels.
* Fixed hot spare functionality.
* Git - included in release for working builds.
* Updated dkms and kmod compliant packaging.
* Added man pages for splat, fsck.zfs, mount.zfs, zhack,
zinject, zpios, ztest, and zpool-features.
