There are many mails and documents that explain this, please google a bit.

The most important fact is that 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 are not different releases of the same version of Asterisk, they are as different as 1.4 and 1.2.
There is no "1.6" release that follows 1.4 - you have 1.2 then 1.4 then 1.6.0 then 1.6.1 in our release series. 

Yes this is confusing, yes there is a proposal to change back to the old behaviour.
