Tact v1.6.0 release checklist

• Improve the changelog for v1.6.0: grammar, wording, polishing
• Add the release contributors section to CHANGELOG.md: based on git log v1.5.X..v1.6.0 --format='%aN' | sort | uniq
• Make sure there are no open issues for the v1.6.0 milestone (except for the current one, of course)
• Remove "(not released yet)" from docs:
  • cd docs — important as to not change the texts elsewhere, such as in code comments
  • regex='([sS]ince Tact \d\.\d) \(not released yet\)'; rg "$regex" -r '$1' (or similar with grep) — to preview the changes
  • regex='([sS]ince Tact \d\.\d) \(not released yet\)'; rg "$regex" -l | xargs sd "$regex" '$1' (or similar with grep and sed) — to apply the changes
• Bump Tact version in:
  • package.json file
  • CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased -> v1.6.0
• Tag the new v1.6.0 release in Git

  $ git tag v1.6.0
  $ git push origin v1.6.0

• Create the new v1.6.0 release on GitHub: https://github.com/tact-lang/tact/releases
• Publish the new v1.6.0 release on NPM: @tact-lang/compiler

  $ git checkout v1.6.0
  $ yarn all && npm publish
