It’s been a number of weeks since the last beta release and so the time has come to release the 1.6 stable. There was not a lot of significant updates in this series but more importantly a number of small usability issues were addressed and rectified.

A quick summary of the inclusions for the 1.6 series are:

1. Waldo files are now honoured appropriately.
2. Reference files can NOW be specified on the command line via the “-R” option.
3. Map files parsing has been reworked.
4. Database output plugin is now more resilient to signal interrupts.

If you have any feedback, issues or requests then please let us know.

Enjoy!
