This is a feature release to provide SDK bindings and IDE compatibility for iOS 9.2 and Xcode 7.2. See the Release Blog post for more details.
Please note this release only supports the iOS 9.2 API, and does not include watchOS2 or tvOS support. Those will come to Stable at a later date (but are available as previews now).

Compatibility notes
(These are the same as for the initial Cycle 6 Feature Release.)
[XamarinVS] The Cycle 6 builds of XamarinVS now require Visual Studio 2012 or higher. Following along with the end of Mainstream Support for Visual Studio 2010 by Microsoft, Cycle 6 is not compatible with VS 2010.
[iOS] The Cycle 6 builds now require Xcode 7 or higher. For example, attempting to build an iOS app for device using Xcode 6.4 will now fail with "Native linking failed, undefined symbol: ___divdc3".
[Xamarin Studio] [XamarinVS] [iOS] [Android] [Xamarin.Mac] Support for OS X 10.9 Mavericks has been deprecated. The Cycle 6 builds now require OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
