This is an incremental upgrade release which includes all the maintenance updates and bugfixes done to Trisquel 6.0 since its publication. Users that have 6.0 already installed don't need to reinstall and can just use the update manager or apt-get dist-upgrade.
The present 6.0.1 release comes with several new features and updates:
- Support for UEFI installation (amd64).
- Abrowser upgraded to v28, with improved Facebook integration.
- Linux-libre updated to 3.2.0-60, 3.5 and 3.11 branches available in the repositories.
- Added open-ath9k-htc firmware to the images.
- Added all free firmware files to the netinstall images so they can be used over wifi.
Trisquel can now be installed on UEFI based computers as long as the security system is disabled in the BIOS setup. We do not sign our kernels or boot managers as that would require us to request permission to Microsoft, something that shouldn't be needed in any case.

thanks for Support for UEFI installation
After doing this and checking my release number with lsb_release -a, I noticed that I am still apparently running "6.0". Also, a large number of packages (mostly perl libraries) were removed, but I did not see any other changes.
Edit: Never mind, another update and am running 6.0.1 now :)
