v1.6.0 Release Notes

This version includes software updates for the catalog system and solver along with some more specific STL files for different printers and inserts. @mrosseel did a great amount of work improving the catalog experience, making new catalog addition easier, and adding a couple catalogs along the way.

Special thanks to Gustav and the rest of the Tetra3 team for guiding us through the Tetra 3 improvements and upgrade!
