[ANN] Release 8.1.6 RC-1

[panagiotis merakos]

H Richmond,

Thanks for the feedback.

The default handlers appear exactly as they are in the dictionary. Indeed,
the mouseUp handler for example does take a parameter <mouseButtonNumber>
(see dictionary).

If you don't need to do different things in the mouseUp handler depending
on the <mouseButtonNumber>, you can just ignore it (e.g. no need to delete
this param), and it will act just like a regular mouseUp handler with no
params.

Best,
Panos
