+## [0.6.0] - Black Diamonds [v6]
+
+The main goal of this release was to move more common code to the
+[Black Diamonds project][bd]. However, since this took a long time, many other
+changes and improvements accumulated.
+
+One of the most important changes for users is support to Java 9, which
+simplifies using SOMns drastically, because users do not need a custom Java 8 VM
+any longer.
+
+Another important user-facing change is the inclusion of our documentation into
+the repository and its deployment to [somns.readthedocs.io][docs].
