*Special Dedication*

The 16.11 releases are all dedicated to the memory of OFBiz Committer and
ex PMC member Adrian Crum. Adrian passed away on 1st January 2016 and his
loss is strongly felt. He was a valued member of the OFBiz community and
his legacy will live on in the OFBiz codebase and in the lives of everyone
he touched.
