Hi

I've released libnl 3.1 which consists mostly of bugfixes and documentation
updates although there have been some feature additions as well.

Highlights:

  - a ton of documentation updates including:
      - new doxygen documentation layout with a navigation sidebar
        (see http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/doc/api/group__rtnl.html)
      - ToC sidebar for asciidoc based documentation
        (see http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/doc/core.html)
      - a lot of new documentation
      - new website (http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/)

 - new features
      - link bonding support
      - support for NLM_F_INTR (recent kernels only)

 - bugfixes

 - more python bindings (still experimental)
