+{% include JB/setup %}
+
+We are excited to announce the release of Scala.js 0.6.4!
+
+This release brings support for Scala 2.11.7 and 2.12.0-M1, as well as a significant part of the Java collections library in `java.util`, thanks to [@andreaTP](https://github.com/andreaTP) and [@nicolasstucki](https://github.com/nicolasstucki).
+It also fixes numerous bugs.
+
+## Getting started
+
+If you are new to Scala.js, head over to
+[the tutorial]({{ BASE_PATH }}/doc/tutorial.html).
+
+## Release notes
+
+For changes in the 0.6.x series compared to 0.5.x, read [the announcement of 0.6.0]({{ BASE_PATH }}/news/2015/02/05/announcing-scalajs-0.6.0/).
+
+As a minor release, 0.6.4 is backward source and binary compatible with previous releases in the 0.6.x series.
+Libraries compiled with earlier versions can be used with 0.6.4 without change.
+However, it is not forward compatible: libraries compiled with 0.6.4 cannot be used by projects using 0.6.{0-3}.
+
+Please report any issues [on GitHub](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues).
+
+## Improvements
+
+### Java Collections API
+
+Some Scala libraries use the collections of Java in some cases.
+To help port these libraries to Scala.js, a number of collection types have been ported.
+At the moment, the following data structures are supported:
+
+* `List`: `ArrayList`, `LinkedList`, `CopyOnWriteArrayList`
+* `Set`: `HashSet`, `LinkedHashSet`, `ConcurrentSkipListSet`
+* `Map`: `HashMap`, `LinkedHashMap`, `ConcurrentHashMap`
+* `Queue`: `LinkedList`, `ConcurrentLinkedQueue`
+
+as well as the helper classes `Arrays` and `Collections`.
+
+### Running with Rhino also reports linking errors
+
+Until 0.6.3, running with Rhino (the default) would not truly link, and therefore would not report linking errors.
+This caused confusions in several occasions, because code that appeared to work on Rhino refused to link and therefore `fastOptJS` would not work.
+As of 0.6.4, even running with Rhino will report linking errors.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+Among others, the following bugs have been fixed:
+
+* [#1646](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1646) `Char#isUpper` behavior diverges between Scala.js/Scala-JVM
+* [#1664](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1664) `@JSName(variable)` annotation does not fail on objects and classes
+* [#1671](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1671) `Double.toInt` and `Float.toInt` are broken
+* [#1718](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1718) `Pattern.compile` doesn't validate regex
+* [#1722](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1722) Rhino crash with Scalatest
+* [#1734](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1734) Charset decoding fails with read-only byte buffers
+* [#1743](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1743) `js.Dynamic.literal.applyDynamic("apply")(map.toSeq: _*)` causes optimizer to crash
+* [#1748](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1748) Source root not found for shared project error (`CrossProject` friendlier to Scoverage)
+* [#1759](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1759) `new Int8Array(n).toArray` throws TypeError
+* [#1764](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1764) `BigInteger.modInverse` always throws an exception
+* [#1774](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1774) `ClassCastException`: `org.mozilla.javascript.UniqueTag` running Scala.js project
+* [#1781](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1781) When the optimizer crashes, it is left in an inconsistent state
