Draft Only of the VIVO 1.6 Release Announcement
Note: The third VIVO 1.6 release candidate has completed testing, with testing of a fourth release candidate expected by December 4. No date has been set for the VIVO v1.6 release pending completion of all tests of the application and data migration from version 1.5.2.

Holly Mistlebauer of Cornell deserves special appreciation for her tireless testing of multiple release candidates, as do Jim Blake, Brian Caruso, Huda Khan, Brian Lowe, and Tim Worrall for addressing 600+ identified issues through over the past year of development.
