ANN: Bokeh 0.6.1 release

[Damian Avila]

On behalf of the Bokeh team, I am very happy to announce the release of
Bokeh version 0.6.1!

Bokeh is a Python library for visualizing large and realtime datasets on
the web. Its goal is to provide to developers (and domain experts) with
capabilities to easily create novel and powerful visualizations that
extract insight from local or remote (possibly large) data sets, and to
easily publish those visualization to the web for others to explore and
interact with.

This point release includes several bug fixes and improvements over our
most recent 0.6.0 release:

* Toolbar enhancements
* bokeh-server fixes
* Improved documentation
* Button widgets
* Google map support in the Python side
* Code cleanup in the JS side and examples
* New examples

See the CHANGELOG for full details.

In upcoming releases, you should expect to see more new layout capabilities
(colorbar axes, better grid plots and improved annotations), additional
tools, even more widgets and more charts, R language bindings, Blaze
integration and cloud hosting for Bokeh apps.
