I have tagged Release-1.6.9 on the stable release branch RB-1.6. It contains 
some minor changes detailed in the release notes below. The branch marker 
"release" has also been updated to refer to this snapshot.

I'm afraid that we've broken our usual policy about never altering the API once 
a branch is marked as stable. It was only because these were critical fixes 
discovered immediately after marking 1.6 stable a couple weeks ago. I thought 
hard about it and decided it would be better to make this one change right at 
the beginning of the lifetime of 1.6, rather than be plagued by problems for 
the coming several months. Moving forward, I am not expecting to make any more 
compatibility-breaking changes within the 1.6 family of releases.

RB-1.5 is now considered legacy and will get only critical updates upon request 
(as it also did this week, to fix a build break with the newly released Boost 
1.60).

master is where exciting new (and sometimes API-changing) changes continue to 
be made.



Release 1.6.9 (released 5 Jan 2016 -- compared to 1.6.8)
------------------------------------------------
* Several varieties of ImageCache and TextureSystem getattribute methods
  were noticed to not be properly declared 'const'. This was fixed.
  #1300 (1.6.9)
* Fix build break against Boost 1.60. #1299,#1300 (1.6.9/1.5.23)
* The Python bindings for ImageCache was overhauled after several
  of the methods were found to be horribly broken. #1300 (1.6.9)
* oiiotool --subimage now allows a subimage name as argument, as well
  as the numeric index. #1271,#1287 (1.6.9)
* TIFF input: erase redundant IPTC:Caption and IPTC:OriginatingProgram
  if they are identical to existing ImageDescription and Software metadata,
  respectively. (1.6.9)
