RapidSMS 0.16.0 Released

[Dan Poirier]

I'm excited to announce the release of RapidSMS 0.16.0!

This is mainly a bug fix release. Here's a quick summary:

• Updated tox version to fix Travis CI builds
• Tox runs tests against Django 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6
• Allow 160 chars in messages in contrib.messages. [Thanks @ewheeler!]
  
• (Fixed #422) The vumi backend no longer raises errors on empty incoming messages. [Thanks @vkurup!]
• (Fixed #412) The :router:`DatabaseRouter` now commits all transactions before adding background tasks to the queue. [Thanks @dodumosu!]
• (Fixed #409) The :router:`DatabaseRouter` will now properly group batched transmissions across multiple backends. [Thanks @takinbo!]
• (Fixed #411) base.html now uses the Django 1.4+ static template tag. [Thanks @wilsonkichoi!]
• Fixed a few typos in Part 1 of the Tutorial.
• Updated django-celery in tests/requirements/dev.txt to latest version (3.0.23) so pytz installs correctly during testing and building the documentation.
