The Long Tailed Duck release has been finalized.

The release is available from the git repository[0] on the
longtailedduck branch and the automatic v1.6.1 tarball[1] or the
manually rolled tarball[2]

This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding
and decoding processes.

- Upgrading:
This release is ABI compatible with 1.6.0.

- Enhancements:
Faster VP9 encoding and decoding.
High bit depth builds now provide similar speed for 8 bit encode and decode
for x86 targets. Other platforms and higher bit depth improvements are in
progress.

- Bug Fixes:
A variety of fuzzing issues.
