+
+The Lucene PMC is pleased to announce the release of Apache Lucene 9.6.0.
+
+Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured search engine library written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires structured search, full-text search, faceting, nearest-neighbor search across high-dimensionality vectors, spell correction or query suggestions.
+
+This release contains numerous bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements, some of which are highlighted below. The release is available for immediate download at:
+
+ <https://lucene.apache.org/core/downloads.html>
+
+### Lucene 9.6.0 Release Highlights:
+
+* Introduce a new KeywordField for simple and efficient filtering, sorting and faceting.
+* Add support for Java 20 foreign memory API. If exactly Java 19 or 20 is used, MMapDirectory will mmap Lucene indexes in chunks of 16 GiB (instead of 1 GiB) and indexes closed while queries are running can no longer crash the JVM.
+* Improved performance for TermInSetQuery, PrefixQuery, WildcardQuery and TermRangeQuery
+* Lower memory usage for BloomFilteringPostingsFormat
+* Faster merges for HNSW indexes
+* Improvements to concurrent indexing throughput under heavy load
+* Correct equals implementation in SynonymQuery
+* 'explain' is now implemented on TermAutomatonQuery
+
