 # Change Log
 
+##[v1.6.1](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/tree/v1.6.1) (2016-08-01)
+- Property Shim needs to handle build output from apply shim ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/d726a51))
+
+- Do not resolve urls with leading slash and other prototcols ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/94f95ec))
+
+- Mark that non-inheritable properties being set to `inherit` is not supported ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/0a2b31e))
+
+- Put `getInitialValueForProperty` on ApplyShim ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/0489ccf))
+
+- Skip `initial` and `inherit` on IE 10 and 11 ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/63c3bfb))
+
+- Handle mixins with property values of inherit and initial ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/c7571e5))
+
+- Split tests for use-before-create and reusing mixin names for variables ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/8de1bec))
+
+- Make sure we don't populate the mixin map for every variable ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/6265ade))
+
+- [apply shim] Track dependencies for mixins before creation ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/2cab461))
+
+- [property shim] Make sure "initial" and "inherit" behave as they would natively ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/0887dba))
+
+- fix lint issue. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/95eadbd))
+
+- Fixes #3801. Ensure style host calculates custom properties before element. This ensures the scope's styles are prepared to be inspected by the element for matching rules. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/5967f2d))
+
+- Clean up custom-style use of apply shim ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/0859803))
+
+- gate comparing css text on using native css properties ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/8fcb5f6))
+
+- Only invalidate mixin if it defines new properties ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/b27f842))
+
+- Make __currentElementProto optional for build tool ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/64d41e6))
+
+- Rerun Apply Shim when mixins with consumers are redefined ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/498e23f))
+
+- updateNativeStyles should only remove styles set by updateNativeStyles ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/831be4f))
+
+- [ci skip] add smoke test for scope caching with custom-style ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/43955ea))
+
+- Remove unused arg. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/95cd415))
+
+- Remove dirty check for custom events; unnecessary after #3678. Fixes #3677. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/92a9398))
+
+- Use _configValue to avoid setting readOnly. Add tests. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/36467fa))
+
+- Missing piece to fixing #3094 ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/694b35e))
+
+- Opt in to "even lazier" behavior by setting `lazyRegister` to "max". This was done to preserve compatibility with the existing feature. Specifically, when "max" is used, setting `is` in `beforeRegister` and defining `factoryImpl` may only be done on an element's prototype and not its behaviors. In addition, the element's `beforeRegister` is called *before* its behaviors' `beforeRegisters` rather than *after* as in the normal case. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/b271a88))
+
+- Replace 'iff' with 'if and only if' ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/f7659eb))
+

+
+- Fix mouse input delay on systems with a touchscreen ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/ed4c18a))
+
+- Ensure properties override attributes at upgrade time. Fixes #3779. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/f2938ec))
+
+- Refresh cache'd styles contents in IE 10 and 11 ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/80be0df))
+
+- change travis config ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/1256301))
+
+- Fix css shady build mistakenly matching root rules as host rules ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/5dfb9c9))
+
+- [ci skip] update changelog for v1.6.0 ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/d8bab9c))
+
+- Make lazyRegister have 'even lazier' behavior such that behaviors are not mixed in until first-instance time. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/9676d6d))
+
+- need takeRecords in complex var example ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/b40561b))
+

+
+- Replace VAR_MATCH regex with a simple state machine / callback ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/4ebec15))
+
+- Expose an `lazierRegister` flag to defer additional work until first create time. This change requires that a behavior not implement a custom constructor or set the element's `is` property. ([commit](https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/commit/5c5b18e))
