brltty 6.0 has been released!

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello,

brltty has been upgraded to version 6.0 on 22 February 2109, thanks
Dave Mielke and the brltty team!

This version brings worthwhile enhancements, listed in the ChangeLog:
https://github.com/brltty/brltty/blob/master/Documents/ChangeLog

To benefit of all of them you need recent versions of the accessibility
software, and a kernel version at least 4.19

I have uploaded upgraded packages for slint-testing only, cf.:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/ChangeLog

Slint users who have installed a slint-testing ISO can get them typing
as root:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get --upgrade-all 

A file /etc/brltty.conf.new will have been installed alongside 
/etc/brltty.conf. Run as root dotnew or dotnew-gtk to update while
keeping your customized settings

Best,

Didier
