Ah, so this makes it easier for me. Will fix the versioning in the next
upload.

I have that patch already included in 1.6.0-1. :-) So the gain of you
releasing a 1.6.2 with that patch is that it becomes more obvious that
this patch is already included in the Debian package (assuming I fix the
versioning as I intend to do). Having said that I think it's only
sensible to release 1.6.2 if 1.7.0 will take some time. Unless 1.7.0 is
utterly broken I'd prefer to package that instead of 1.6.2.

Sounds similar to the WwwStream patch. I didn't notice a breakage
though.

That's understandable, I don't like writing documentation either :-) I
think I'm of no good help here, as I don't follow the development
closely and would rather consume instead of produce a release note.
Best regards
Uwe

Ah, no worries. Maybe backports if there's demand (though 1.7
will support distro-agnostic "make install-symlinks" for
non-root users)

Actually, I merged 1.6.1 back into the tip of whatever branch
I was using and pushed it to master:
d49c0789d208e66121bfb68ff0c48d7612a7cd8e ("Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/lei' into eidx")
8862c33ae93eea1af6246cd3c7a81e0a122186bf ("Merge tag 'v1.6.1' into eidx")

Right, no big deal.
Btw, since there's bb928d88ed4c72241a8d76bc792cdbd798e44470
("www: use PublicInbox::WwwStream") sitting in the stable-1.6
branch, would it be helpful to release v1.6.2 at some point?
I think 8b39c0757a7d6d62ff7f432c13ef4c497f1c804e
("ds: import croak properly") is worth pushing to stable-1.6,
maybe others...
Also, I'd appreciate if you or anybody else helps writing
release notes (in the form of what's in Documentation/RelNotes/)
since it's a bit of a drag for me.
