The mobile interface which has been the major feature of this update seems to be one of the fundamental reason behind this delay, as there is need to “employ the services of other developers” to produce more mobile compatible plugins.

From the Oxwall Blog

Earlier we announced to release it in June, then we changed the target to August, now we are doing it again. Yes. Sorry.
We are very aware about armies of users waiting 1.6 with mobile solutions, and we know that expectations are high. This is the exact reason why we are taking more time to develop and polish every detail.
I’ll remind you that we are not just making “mobile versions” of essential plugins — our task is to also provide a basis for mobile plugins by other developers. Oxwall is a platform. Originally, Oxwall 1.0 also took much longer than it would take to just develop its community site features. And inevitably, also longer than we planned.
Oxwall 1.5 received spectacular feedback and community movement. We are aiming at repeating and exceeding this with 1.6. Having said that, I want to assure you that we are not making this mistake of miscommunication again. Target release date will be announced when we are 100% able to meet it, about the time Oxwall 1.6 enters the internal testing stage.
Oxwall has been known for its quality and support beyond what people expect from open source projects of similar size. We will do our best to keep it this way further. It’s your support and feedback that enables us to do so.
Thank you,
Emil

I hope when this is finally released, it is worth the wait. For now, Oxwall users would have to keep their fingers crossed  and wait patiently for the “long-awaited” update.
