Release work for Sentry 1.6.0 has started

["Sun, Dapeng" <da...@intel.com>]

Hi Sentry Community,

We are getting ready to release Sentry 1.6.0:

Our plan is to create branch on Monday, August 31th, 2015 and release on Monday, September 7th, 2015

There are currently about 52 unresolved JIRAs that have fix-version as 1.6.0. I will move all those to the next release.
If you would like to commit any of these JIRAs into 1.6.0 release, you will need to change the fix-version back to 1.6.0.

The Sentry Community has contributed 4 new features, 81 improvements or bug fixes since last release, so the 1.6.0 is a big important release.



New features:

- Sqoop 2 integration

- Import /export of policies

- Credential Provider for passwords

- Audit log support for Sentry Solr handlers

Bug fixes: 50 issues

Improvements or Others: 31 issues


Please help keep trunk stable in the next 2 weeks so we can have a smooth release.
SENTRY-857 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-857) has been created to track the release activity.
Let me know if you any question or suggestion.


Regards
Dapeng
