I am thrilled to announce the immediate release of Nikola version 6.0.0.

This is a major feature release. If you have an existing site, you will get a number of warnings about deprecated options. Don't worry, things most likely will still work, and you can take your time fixing them.

Some of the new features are described in a series of blog posts: 1 2 3 4 5
