+- Update to 1.6.1:
+  * bugfix: Various CryptContext methods would incorrectly raise TypeError
+    if passed a unicode user category under Python 2. For consistency,
+    unicode user category values are now encoded to ``utf-8`` bytes under
+    Python 2.
+  * bugfix: Reworked internals of the CryptContext config compiler to fix a
+    couple of border cases (issue 39), see CHANGES for details.
+  * bugfix: FreeBSD 8.3 added native support for hash.sha256_crypt -- updated
+    Passlib's unittests and documentation accordingly (issue 35).
+  * bugfix: Fixed bug which caused passlib.apache unittest to fail if mtime
+    resolution >= 1 second (issue 35).
+  * Various bugfixes for Python 3.3 compatibility.
+  * Various documentation updates and corrections.
