This release fixes a few bugs in 2.5.0. It also provides incremental improvements to the documentation, the Axis GUI, and some of the helper tools (gladevcp, tooledit, ngcgui, pncconf).
No config changes are required when upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1. If you're upgrading from a 2.4 release, please see http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpdatingTo2.5 Debian packages are available from the usual deb archive at http://linuxcnc.org, which means that for the typical installation, the update manager will automatically offer you this upgrade.
