XSCE/IIAB 6.2 will most likely arrive in late-February 2017.

We began working around a regular 6-month release cycle starting with XSCE 6.0 (released March 27, 2016) leading up to XSCE 6.1 (released September 22, 2016).

Documentation, almost completely overhauled as of February 22, 2017: https://github.com/xsce/xsce/wiki
