Hello everybody,

Thanks the feedback I got from you, I have spotted some
issues in release candidate 0, and tried to fix them.
As a result, we have now release candidate 1, which
can be downloaded from GIT or by using this tarball:

http://www.littlecms.com/lcms2-2.6rc1.tar.gz

- In this candidate, the ABI compatibility is not
   broken, so there is no need of a .soname bump.
   Release will be a minor 2.6 I think a major version
   bump would be a big issue for most packagers, and
   tried to avoid that. Yet existing applications
   using lcms2 should compile and work with
   absolutely no modifications.

- System keeps track of issued contexts, so there
   is no longer any guessing of pointers or magic
   numbers. This approach is more robust and fully
   portable.

- Unfortunately this makes cmsCreateContext() not
   thread-safe, I am searching for solutions to this
   issue. Anyway, that would not be a problem for yet
   existing apps, and neither for new apps that are
   aware of this limitation.

Otherwise the code has been tested on several linux,
Mac, Big-endian PPC, Several windows and cygwin.
All are found to work fine.

I wish to thank you again for all your aid in
finding the issues the previous candidate had.

Best regards
