+#### 06 June 2022 - Struts 2 ver. 6.0.0 General Availability {#a20220606}
+
+The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Apache Struts 2 ver. 6.0.0 is available as a "General Availability"
+release. The GA designation is our highest quality grade.
+
+**Version change**
+
+You can be surprised by the version change, previously we have been using Struts 2.5.x versioning schema, but this was 
+a bit misleading. Struts 2 is a different framework than Struts 1 and its versioning is supposed to start with 1.0.0, 
+yet that never happened. With each breaking changes release (like Struts 2.5), we had been only upgrading the MINOR 
+part of the versioning schema. To fix that problem as from Struts 2 ver. 6.0.0  (aka Struts 2.6) we adopt a proper SemVer 
+to avoid such confusion.
+
+**Internal Changes**
+
+The framework requires Java 8 at runtime. Also Servlet API 3.1 capable container is required.
+
+OGNL expressions are limited to 256 characters by default. See [WW-5179](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5179)
+and [docs](https://struts.apache.org/security/#apply-a-maximum-allowed-length-on-ognl-expressions) for more details.
+
+Yasser's PR has been merged which contains a fix to double evaluation security vulnerability - it should solve any future 
+attack vectors, yet it can impact your application if you have been depending on double evaluation.
+
+**How to test**
+
+- Run all your app tests, you shouldn't see any WARN log like below:
+  > Expression [so-and-so] isn't allowed by pattern [so-and-so]! See Accepted / Excluded patterns at https://struts.apache.org/security/
+- See if following components are still functioning correctly regarding java-scripts:
+  - forms with client side validations
+  - doubleselect
+  - combobox
+- Check also `StreamResult`s, `AliasInterceptor` and `JasperReportResult`s if they are still working as expected.
+
+Support to access static methods via OGNL expressions has been removed, use action instance methods instead.
+
