RNS β 0.6.4

This version was yanked, since it contains a bug that was discovered just after release

This release fixes a number of bugs that had crept in while adding the new ultra low bandwidth link timing and faster path rediscovery mechanisms.

Changes

• Adjusted link timings for better support of very slow mediums
• Adjusted bluetooth read timeouts to account for occasional high latency in congested 2.4GHz environments
• Added a probe count option to the rnprobe utility.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a missing timeout calculation
• Fixed a redundant path request on path rediscovery
• Fixed missing path state resetting on stale path rediscovery
• Fixed a bug that could cause an attribute to be uninitialised
