 Version 0.6.0 is the current release, and 0.6.1 is in testing
-(0.6.1-rc.2): it gets certificates onto your other hosts (`jarl cert
+(0.6.1-rc.3): it gets certificates onto your other hosts (`jarl cert

 hook, a daily timer keeps them current), exports certificates, fixes
 PTR records and overrides in linked zones, and makes one-view tokens
