[ANNOUNCE] EFI Boot Guard 0.6 released

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi all,

this release primarily contains improvements and fixes of the iTCO
watchdog driver but there is also a fix for NVMe usage.

Christian Storm (2):
Remove redundant extern declaration
watchdog: iTCO refactoring plus Apollo Lake and ICH9 support

Dmitri Toubelis (1):
Fix issue with partition naming on NVMe drives

Jan Kiszka (5):
Remove unused variables
Fix comment typo
Remove debug prints from FileDevicePathFromConfig
itco: Fix timeout value of versions > 3
Bump version number

Mathieu A.-Tetreault (1):
itco: itcoV3 internal timer is stored as seconds

Mathieu Tetreault (1):
watchdog: iTCO add support for Lynx Point (iTCO v.2)

Thanks to all contributors!

To give a brief outlook on what to come: We are working on secure boot
support. Along this will come a break-up of the watchdog component and
the loader/switcher logic for the update payload. This break-up will
eventually enable the re-use of EFI Boot Guard with bootloaders that
provide similar switching capabilities but lack watchdogs. Stay tuned!

Jan
