+# 1.6.1dev-87
+**For Minecraft PE 0.16.0.5 alpha**
+
+**THIS IS A PRE RELEASE. Do not use it in production unless you are sure you know what you are doing.**
+
+Only changes since the 1.6dev tag will be documented here. Changes between 1.4.1 and 1.6dev are far too extensive to document effectively.
+
+## Core
+- New RNG, based on XorShift128 from the php-random library. This fixes issue with repeating terrain on 32-bit systems. _Note however that new generation into existing worlds will not be seamless._
+- Block and Item IDs have been moved to interfaces for better consistency
+- Better method for synchronisation of client/server time (less packet spam)
+- Utils::getRandomBytes() has been deprecated in favour of php7's random_bytes() function.
+- `<player>.dat` saving/reading can now be disabled in `pocketmine.yml` (set `player.save-player-data` to `false`)
+
+## Gameplay/game features
+- Added Flower Pots
+- Containers can now be opened in creative
+- Trapdoors can now be placed without a supporting block
+
+## API
+
+This release has API changes, bumping the version to 2.1.0.
+
+### Entity metadata (0.16)
+
+Many changes have been made to entity metadata. Many true/false data properties are now entity status flags, such as NoAI, NametagVisible and various others. Entity status flags can be set using:
+`$entity->setDataFlag(Entity::DATA_FLAGS, Entity::INSERT_DATA_FLAG_NAME, true/false);`
+
+**Breaking** changes are detailed here. Additions are not documented. https://gist.github.com/dktapps/76b291b7a861762b54f7a8b834389883
+
+**NOTE: It's strongly recommended to use provided API methods where possible instead of tampering with metadata directly.**
+
+### AsyncTask API additions
+- Main thread local storage: Developers can pass any data including objects to the constructor of AsyncTask such that the data can be retrieved after the AsyncTask completes using the new `AsyncTask::fetchLocal()` method, or use the `AsyncTask::peekLocal()` method to get the data without removing it.
+- Progress updates: Developers can use the new `AsyncTask::publishProgress() method and override`AsyncTask::onProgressUpdated()` to handle AsyncTask progress information in the main thread.
+
+Refer to #1 and #100 for details.
+
+### WeakPosition
+
+WeakPosition was added in 1.6.1 to fix bugs with unloading levels which have player spawn points set in them. This type of position holds a level ID instead of a direct reference. Use this when your position may outlive the level it is in.
+
+### Removal of Item/NBT circular dependency
+
+Refer to #121 for details.
+
+### Other
+- Added Player->sendWhisper() (#73).
+- Removed LargeExplodeParticle due to incorrect name - use HugeExplodeParticle. Added HugeExplodeSeedParticle and BlockForceFieldParticle (7314aaf7f7bdae582f674c085c7ae879985bf847)
