+<title>Wine 6.0 Released</title>
+<body>
+<p> The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 6.0 is now available.</p>
+<p> This release represents a year of development effort and over 8,300 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that are listed in the <a href="{$root}/announce/6.0">release notes</a> below. The areas of major changes are:</p>
+<p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Core modules in PE format.</li>
+  <li>Vulkan backend for WineD3D.</li>
+  <li>DirectShow and Media Foundation support.</li>
+  <li>Text console redesign.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p> This release is dedicated to the memory of Ken Thomases, who passed away just before Christmas at the age of 51. Ken was an incredibly brilliant developer, and the mastermind behind the macOS support in Wine. We all miss his skills, his patience, and his dark sense of humor.</p>
+<p>The source is <a href="//dl.winehq.org/wine/source/6.0/wine-6.0.tar.xz">available now</a>.
+Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective <a href="{$root}/download">download locations</a>.
