Geth 1.6.1 is mostly a bugfix release adding various polishes throughout the codebase.

Highlights of the release are the capability to iterate over a contract's storage entries via the RPC; transitioning Whisper to protocol v5 along with bundled diagnostics tools; and shorthand connectivity to the Rinkeby test network.
