Chisel v3.6.0 has been released!

[Jack Koenig]

Howdy Chiselers,

I am very delighted to announce that we have released v3.6.0 of the various Chisel-related projects:

Chisel v3.6.0 - https://github.com/chipsalliance/chisel/releases/tag/v3.6.0

ChiselTest v0.6.0 - https://github.com/ucb-bar/chiseltest/releases/tag/v0.6.0

Treadle, and FIRRTL also have 0.6.0 and 1.6.0 releases respectively, but please see Chisel for the main release notes.

The 3.6 release is a big step for the future of Chisel as it is the transitional release from the original Scala FIRRTL Compiler to the new LLVM MLIR-based FIRRTL Compiler. Please see the Chisel release notes linked above.
