LinShim6 0.9 released

[Sébastien Barré <sebastien.barre@uclouvain.be>]

Hi,

I am glad to announce that LinShim6 version 0.9 has been released. The 
major additions are the followings:

------------------
- Support for Keepalive Timeout option
- Faster failure recovery for TCP applications (thanks to RTO reset upon 
path change)
- Shim6 can now be compiled as a module. The trigger heuristic is 
defined as a separate module. So that it can be
 unloaded or replaced depending on the needs. For example, a server 
that does not want to initiate a Shim6
 negotiation by itself, but only answer to requests, can simply unload 
the heuristic module.
- Added a console option, that allows dynamic setting of the failure 
detection timer.
------------------

The useful links are the followings :

* LinShim6 main page, where you can download the kernel patch and the 
daemon : http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be/LinShim6
* Updated draft shim6-impl (implementation report) :
