OpenOCD 0.10.0 release is out

Hello,

I'm happy to announce the availability of OpenOCD version 0.10.0, finally! For the important points regarding packaging please see [1].

It was a long release cycle but it was also a fruitful one. The list of the most important changes follows.

OpenOCD is a community project and I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the contributors, regular and occassional, hobbyists and professionals, corporate-supported and those doing the work on their spare time. Please keep the flow of the patches going, both by sending new code and by reviewing other's contributions. It's you who really decide what new features OpenOCD is going to get.

I also want to remind how important it is to communicate to the silicon vendors that you would like to see their devices supported upstream (or that you're happy that they're supported).
