[scummvm-devel] Prepare for ScummVM 2.6.1

[Lothar Serra Mari]

Hi all,

just a short reminder that we are in the middle of the release cycle for 
2.6.1.

This is the remaining schedule:
> Thursday, October 13: hard freeze of branch-2-6
>     Sunday, October 16: Tagging of ScummVM 2.6.1, porters start 
> building and submitting their releases
>     Monday, October 31: Public release 

In the meantime, I updated the NEWS file with the most noteworthy 
changes made from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 [1].

I'd appreciate if you, dear developers, could have a quick look if I got 
everything right when checking all the precious commits :-)

All the best
Lothar
