I am happy to announce a new release of virt-viewer, version 0.6.0:

  http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-0.6.0.tar.gz

This release also includes semi-experimental MSI installers for the
Win32 (x86) and Win64 (x64) platforms:

  http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-x86-0.6.0.msi
  http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virt-viewer/virt-viewer-x64-0.6.0.msi

This time I have actually tested the installers in both WINE and Windows
Vista to confirm that remote-viewer.exe, virsh.exe and virt-viewer.exe
are able to launch and connect without errors.

All are signed with key DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E  8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF  (4096R)
