Hello

I am happy to announce the release of Distribute 0.6.1.

- What is Distribute ?

  Distribute is a friendly fork of the Setuptools project. More info
at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute and
http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/wiki/

- Changes:

* zip_ok is now True by default.
* package_index.urlopen now catches BadStatusLine and malformed url errors.
* Fixed invalid URL error catching.
* Fixed invalid bootstraping with easy_install installation. Thanks to
Florian Shchulze for the help
* Removed buildout/bootstrap.py. A new repository at bitbucket.org
will create a specific bootstrap.py script.
* The bootstrap process leave setuptools alone if detected in the
system and --root, --user or --prefix is provided, but is not in the
same location.

The next release of the 0.6 series will try to adress all remaining
bugs in the tracker,

The first 0.7 release, which targets Python 3, is still under heavy work.

Cheers
Tarek
