The GeoServer Blog announces the 1.6.2 upgrade saying,
This is a Security Release, which means it contains fixes for two Security Vulnerabilities. We highly recommend that you upgrade to this version. We found out about both these vulnerabilities in the past couple days, and made an effort to fix them and get this release out as quickly as possible. One of the issues also affects older versions of GeoServer. We are not doing a security release for it at this time for all the older versions, but have clear instructions on how to update one file to disable the page where the exploit is possible.

cholmes writes "The GeoServer team is excited to announce that GeoServer 1.6.0 has been released. There are a host of advances from 1.5.x, and many GeoServer users have been testing the release candidates and giving us great feedback, so this final release should be very stable. Advances from 1.5.x include greatly increased performance for rendering maps, 'versioning' of feature data, WFS 1.1, a new security sub system, better google maps and earth integration, a WFS datatstore for Cascading WFS and Component WMS, and a number of other bug fixes and improvements."
