There are still a few topics that are meant for 'maint' cooking in higher stages; we will have 1.6.0.2 after they are merged down.

On the 'master' front, it looks like 1.6.1 will not have anything particularly big like 1.6.0 did. Other than many s/git-foo/git foo/ updates in tests (finished -- the documentation needs to go through the same process), there are many small bells and whistles enhancements, but nothing earth shattering. I am expecting that we will go into 1.6.1-rc0 freeze in two weeks.

* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
