There is now an official milestone for 6.1.0 and a corresponding maintenance 
branch. There is no official distro at this time -- just the ./core framework 
milestone. You can certainly upgrade existing projects if you have a mind, but 
we'll be releasing a friendlier distribution for folks new to FarCry in the 
very near future.

*6.1.0 maintenance branch (p610)* https://farcry.jira.com/svn/FC/branches/p610 

# Key Features

* Precision; allow the developer to nominate the exact precision of a property 
and have the database schema update accordingly
* Better support options for new databases; a clean component architecture for 
adding new database gateways (only supports MSSQL & mySQL at this time)
* Indexation; allow developers to nominate database indices that are 
automatically deployed, dropped and altered as needed 
* Model schema tables that are not FarCry content types. Sometimes you just 
need a table without all the framework baggage; for example, refObjects and the 
nested tree model
* Options for deploying and undeploying multiple objects, and mass property 
changes. This would make installers and updaters a breeze not to mention make 
development of customisations even simpler

# Additional Release Notes Version FarCry 6.1 (Mayonnaise)

There are also a variety of bug fixes and minor enhancements swept up in the 
release that have been closed out. And probably a few older issues that need to 
be closed out as a result of underlying changes in the framework -- we'll close 
these out in the maintenance branch as we find them.
