 # Revision history for swarm
 
+## **0.6.0.0** - 2024-07-15
+
+Some of the highlights of this release include native Windows support,
+customizable keybindings, type synonyms and equirecursive types, and a
+prototype tournament server
+([#1798](https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/pull/1798)) where players
+can upload their solutions to challenge scenarios.  See below for a
+more detailed list (or see the [complete list of git
+commits](https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/commits/main/?since=2023-11-01)).
+
+Aside from the more visible changes listed below, this release cycle saw a *lot* of internal refactoring.
+For example, we finished splitting the codebase into a number of
+independent sublibraries and split several large modules into smaller
+modules.
