Hey there,

We're coming closer to the stable-0.61 Grimoire release, so here's some
middle-work, that helps us to test 0.60 -> 0.61 upgrade process.

This release has a lot of updates (since it's based on stable-rc 0.61
Grimoire, which was renewed and cut a week ago) as well as Kernel update
to 3.0.31.

The most visible changes:

* GCC 4.6.3
* Kernel 3.0.31 (latest LTS)
* Sorcery 1.15.1 (unchanged though, just FYI)

* dropped spells:
 o fping
 o g++ (the spell itself no longer needed, gcc spell provides C++
functionality)
 o glib2 (nothing in basesystem depends on glib2, and recent glib2
requires Python installed)
 o p7zip (no longer needed for metalog -- replaced by xz, which is
included in basesystem)
 o vim (replaced by powerful and yet minimal vi clone -- elvis)

* new spells:
 o elvis
 o ntfs-3g (adds NTFS support)
 o gdisk (adds fdisk with GPT support and other nice tools)
 o popt (required by gdisk)
 o minicom (useful tool for playing with COM when you set up BIOS
console redirection, etc. Also inspired by this message[0])

so it's still 131 of them.

Images are available for download from our general download page[1].
Feel free to test and report[2].

If nothing critical is found, this release will become our new
0.61-stable chroot image for preparing new installation ISO.
