There are a few things deprecated in the 1.6.0 release.

2. The method moment.fn.native is deprecated in favor of moment.fn.toDate. There continue to be issues with Google Closure Compiler throwing errors when using native, even in valid instances.

3. The way to customize am/pm strings is being changed. This would only affect you if you created a custom language file. For more information, see this issue.
