+## Alloy Release Notes
 
+### Beta Release 1.6.0 - 02 April 2015
+
+[Full list of Issues that were addressed in Release 1.6.0](https://jira.appcelerator.org/issues/?filter=16721)
+
+#### New Features
+
+##### Backbone 1.1.2 Support
+
+Alloy 1.6.0 introduces support for Backbone 1.1.2. Due to breaking changes from
+Backbone 0.9.2 to 1.1.2, Alloy still uses Backbone 0.9.2 as its default
+Model and Collection implementation.  You will need to update the configuration file to use the
+newer Backbone library, then update your application to fix the breaking behavior changes and take
+advantage of the new Backbone features.
+
+In the future, Backbone 1.1.2 will become the default and 0.9.2 support will be deprecated and
+eventually removed.
+
+For details, see the
+[Alloy Backbone Migration guide](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Alloy_Backbone_Migration).
+
+
+##### CLI extract-i18n command
+
+The Alloy CLI extract-i18n command now extracts localized strings from the XML files, in addition to
+the JavaScript and TSS files, to populate the `strings.xml` file.
+
+
+##### Underscore 1.6.0 Upgrade
+
+The underscore.js library was upgraded from version 1.4.4 to version 1.6.0.
+
+
+##### XML Markup Enhancements
+
+  * Support <ActionView/> as a child tag of the <MenuItem> object to set the `actionView` property
+    of `Titanium.Android.MenuItem`.  Only supports the Android platform.
+
