v0.6.6

First-contact proof pending. This release cleared the machine preflight on its
own bytes. It has NOT been through the stranger arms (green, brown, vcs) that
measure what a first-time user actually meets. It ships and is promoted anyway,
so this notice is how you tell it apart from a release that was measured.
