Thanks
1) Some plugin hooks were added in modcp.php
2) Some plugin hooks were flipped with the eval statements in a few places to make it more consistent
3) The ACP urls now use a dash (-) instead of a slash (/) to workaround mod_security's irritation but the old way is still backwards compatible
4) The "remember" column in the users table has been removed in MyBB 1.6. This column was then added to the sessions table instead so it may be used on a per-session basis versus a per-user basis.
That's... about.. it. MyBB 1.6 mainly added features, not many things were modified at all that would affect current plugins

You forgot that some object methods are private now. Some of my plugins had used these methods. Now it's not possible anymore (and I have to write "workarounds"). 
@all: Before modifying plugin files just check for plugin updates through Admin CP. That should be your first step!

- announcement.php was renamed to announcements.php (at least the define in code was), although that happened in 1.4 too.
There aren't any major changes that would affect plugins on a large scale (like how the database interface changed in 1.4 so it caused old plugins trying to change mybb_mybb_table instead of mybb_table),
It's the minor changes you have to look out for. And maybe the new MyBB features such as thread prefixes to add support for, if you do anything with threads.
Plugin authors should update their compatibility to 16* and then simply test every nook and cranny of their plugin thoroughly to verify that it is still in 100% full working order. And fix whatever issues may arise.
