Most changes were made before 1.6 was branched. They don't need to be
only bug fixes then.
For example the AddMore button change is from last May which is half a
year before 1.6 branch:

 r49046  Package editor: Replace AddMore button with a popup menu.
Step 1. to improve the GUI. Issue #28097, (modified) patch from Alexey
Torgashin.
and
 r49096  IDE: Improve adding a new file to package, reuse the "New..."
dialog. Issue #28097, patch from Alexey Torgashin.

The only commit merged into 1.6 that was not really a bug fix is from
December 15 :
 r50815  Package editor: Duplicate the "Add" button's menu items in
tree popup menu. Part of issue #28097.
It was kind of part of the improvements I wanted to finish and is
rather safe. It only adds menu items for existing functionality.

Also look at the related issues, like:
  http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26188
Many usability issues were fixed. Only the last one was merged to 1.6,
others happened before it.
IMO the package editor is now smooth and nice.
