Say hello to OmniOS r151016:

	http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/ReleaseNotes/r151016

The big highlights include:

	- Userland now compiled with gcc5.1.

	- New and complete "illumos-tools" package available for more expedient illumos development

	- netperf and iperf now available for all of your network measuring needs.

	- Up to date with October illumos-gate

	- New installs get OpenSSH by default, and OpenSSH is now easier to switch to or from.  (Thanks to Lauri "lotheac" Tirkkonen for this!)

OmniOS r151016 is the next Stable release.  r151014 now assumes its role as LTS.  (There will be an r151014 update later this week, with one bugfix from illumos-gate that needs to be brought back.)

If you took advantage of linked-image zones in r151014, make sure you read the upgrade instructions.  You can do it more quickly than in the past, but it requires a bit of setup.

Thank you to the OmniOS community for your feedback and support!
