[Xenomai] [Announce] Xenomai 2.6.4

[Gilles Chanteperdrix]

Hi,

I have just made available Xenomai 2.6.4 at the usual address:
http://download.gna.org/xenomai/stable/xenomai-2.6.4.tar.bz2

This release mainly fixes bugs, and do not add many new functionalities, 
I guess because we are busy preparing xenomai 3.0:
- support for I-pipe patch for 3.14 with a performance improvement on 
ARM Cortex A9, and support for the OMAP L138 processor;
- disabling of C1E state on recent Intel processors
- support for powerpc SPE
- various improvements of the Debian packaging, notably support for the 
armhf architecture and addition of a debug package
- clarification of the licenses, now every source file should have a 
license header
- removal of the docbook documentation, as this documentation is now 
available on the website

Thanks for all contributions.
Regards.
