6.0.1 / 6.1 development:
------------------------
Critical small bugfixes for 6.0.1 will be done in releasebranch_6_0, 
don't forget to make the same bugfix also in MAIN branch! That means you
must submit the change twice.

New features must not be added to releasebranch_6_0!

6.1 development continues in MAIN branch.
