I have to say I've been very productive since 1.6.0 relase and it is _not_ a good thing. Many minor bugs are discovered by the list regulars, but they really should have been found and fixed during the -rc period. Let's try to do better in this cycle.

Anyway, thanks everybody for finding and fixing bugs and supplying bugfix patches with test cases. Perhaps we would need a 1.6.0.1 this weekend.

    caller
  compat: introduce on_disk_bytes()
  Update draft release notes for 1.6.1
