Release of OpenToonz 1.6, an open package for creating 2D animation

The release of the OpenToonz 1.6 project has been published, continuing the development of the source code for Toonz's professional 2D animation package, which was used in the production of the animated series Futurama and some of the animated films nominated for the Academy Award.
