Hi everyone, I had uploaded the wrong files to the server when I announced the 1.6.1 release on March 30th. I have re-uploaded them a few minutes ago (same name, but up to date contents). If you downloaded any of the mitab-1.6.1*.zip (or .tar.gz) then you should probably download them again to make sure you really have the final 1.6.1 files.
