There is a new preview version labeled 1.6.2_01 beta.
All bug fixes and new features I commented as "fixed in 1.6.1_21" are actually fixed in this version.
I changed its status to beta. It means that not new feature requests shall be implemented for 1.6.x .
We only need to check that it runs smoothly and that is can be released.
New features:
Multi-columns icons tool bar
"Close all maps" and "close all other maps" actions added to file menu
Options to hide icons and connectors
Option note icon in notes tool-tip
Aligning current node on the left side, on the right side or on the center, hot keys alt+W (west), alt+E (east), alt+C (center)
Option to move aligned node smoothly
Option to define spotlight background color
I look forward to exploring this release. One thing I noticed off the bat was that the arrow icons that indicate a link are significantly larger than they were in 1.6.1. Is this intended? Is there a setting to change their size?

UAHHHH..!
I love the changes.
Especially the East and West repositiioning with the smooth option!
Thanks so much Dimitry & team!
I, too, welcome these changes. You guys are very responsive to our requests. Thanks.
As we say in rural western Utah: "This keeps getting gooder and gooder."
I have fixed some important bugs introduced in the latest preview.
Please use 1.6.2_02

I am not seeing that here. Although I do not have a calibrated eyeball, they look about like they looked before.

Hmmm - this what I see. I like your arrows better. :) How do i get them
instead of the ones I've got?
And as can be seen, Wednesday has to become a two-line node because of the added width of the arrow icon.

You can use the old icons theme to have that small arrow. http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Add-ons#Old_Icons_Theme
Cool - I'll explore that. Thanks.
My original question still stands though. Is there a way to get the smaller sized link icons that I had in 1.6.1?
That icon size is related with Toolbar icon height in Preferences. I am not sure whether it is a bug, but I am going to report it.
Many thanks for the impressive improvements in 1.6.2 (+ 1.6.1_21).
Also impressive the development pace and feedback to users requests!
I agree, very impressive: these new FP improvements let me work much better. Many thanks to FP Team.
