Changes Made:

mattermost-desktop-releases.md

• Set release date as 2026-02-16 (following 4-month release cycle)
• Added compatibility with v11.4 through v10.12 server versions

desktop-app-changelog.md

• Added v6.1 changelog section with standard structure
• Included placeholder content for highlights, improvements, and bug fixes
• Added proper anchor reference (release-v6-1)=

linux-desktop-install.rst

• Updated all version references from 6.0.2 to 6.1.0
• Updated download URLs for CentOS/RHEL rpm packages

Note: I've used placeholder information following the existing patterns since specific v6.1 details weren't provided. You can update the changelog with actual features, release dates, and other specifics as needed.
