Great! a new GNS3 release! Seems this one has some pretty nice improvements to it! As well as some notable fixes. Seems that development is a little slower than expected due to the departure of a few members of the GNS3 DEV team, but Jeremy and Xavier as still hard at it. Thank you guys for all of your hard work.
Here is the official announcement from Jeremy over at GNS3.net

Hi everyone,

GNS3 v0.6.1 is released! this is a minor release that brings some improvements and bug fixes. Nothing really new but now we have a solid base to start making new features. Also the GNS3 binary version for Windows has been repackaged to include python 2.6 and Qt 4.5.1 dlls. A binary version (.app) for MacOS X should be released soon.

Improvements:

• Copy an inserted image in the project’s working directory and update its path in the .net file.
• Prevent auto-generated interface notes to be recorded in the .net file.
• Display an error msg box if a working directory can’t be used by an hypervisor.
• Check if a hostname has already been used when creating a new node.
• Warn to use manual links when a user select a NM-16ESW module.
• Check if GNS3 is running on a Windows 64 bits OS in order to choose the correct path to Putty.
• Check IOS and working directories paths when creating new nodes and throw a warning to the user if something is wrong.
• Button to edit project settings.

Fixes:

• Prevent notes to be deleted when typing the delete key while editing.
• Prevent NM-16ESW modules to be removed from routers when using Ethernet/FastEthernet links.
• Tooltips update when starting/stopping/suspending routers.
• Bug with Qt 4.5 on selected filter when openning a project (getOpenFileName)
• 99MB limit for pcmcia disks.
• Unicode errors with TMP env variable on Windows.
• AttributeError: value of `chassis’ must be of type string.
• Merge correct config paths when loading a .net create on a different platform.

Thanks for your support.
Jeremy
