So a bug has been discovered in Cordova Android that requires a new tag and release. You can check out the bug on the issue tracker at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-490?focusedCommentId=13252809#comment-13252809
It doesn't make sense to just repackage 1.6.0 with this bug fixed as we will have no way to know if people are experiencing this or not. Anis mentioned Bada also had some major issues which he has fixed now and would like in a 1.6.1 release. Thoughts? -Steve
