+
+skiboot-5.1.6 is the 7th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.5
+(which was released October 1st, 2015).
+
+Skiboot 5.1.6 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.5 and is a minor bug
+fix release.
+
+Changes
+-------
+Over skiboot-5.1.5, we have the following changes:
+
+Generic:
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- Ensure we run pollers in cpu_wait_job()
+
+ In root causing a bug on AST BMC Alistair found that pollers weren't
+ being run for around 3800ms.
+
+ This could show as not resetting the boot count sensor on successful
+ boot.
+
+AST BMC Machines
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- hw/bt.c: Check for timeout after checking for message response
+
+ When deciding if a BT message has timed out we should first check for
+ a message response. This will ensure that messages will not time out
+ if there was a delay calling the pollers.
+
+ This could show as not resetting the boot count sensor on successful
+ boot.
