v1.6.1 Launch Planning

[julian]

Just a quick note for you all to let you know that v1.6.1 will be dropping next Tuesday, the 10th of October to include some bug fixes as well as a minor security fix that was reported recently.

We're also using this patch release as an opportunity to address any issues that people have run into after trying to upgrade to v1.6.0.

We do not expect any breaking changes, as this is merely a patch release.

Feature freeze comes into effect 3rd of October, code freeze Friday 6th of October.
