+We recently released the 6.0.0 Rust version of Apache Arrow, which
+coincides with the [Arrow 6.0.0 release]({{ site.baseurl }}/6.0.0.html). This
+post highlights some of the improvements in the Rust implementation. The full changelog can be
+found [here](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/6.0.0/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+<!--
+(arrow_dev) bkmgit@Linux:~/arrow-rs$ git log --pretty=oneline 5.0.0..6.0.0 | wc -l
+ 99
+(arrow_dev) bkmgit@Linux:~/arrow-rs$ git shortlog -sn 5.0.0..6.0.0 | wc -l

+
+The Rust Arrow implementation would not be possible without the wonderful work and support of our community, and
+the 6.0.0 release is no exception. It includes 99 commits from 35 individual contributors, many of them with
+their first contribution. Thank you all very much.
+
+# Arrow
+
+Highlighted features and changes between release 5.0.0 and this release are:
+1. New MapArray support
+2. Add optimized filter kernel for regular expression matching
+4. Implement `sort()` for `BinaryArray`
+5. Replace `ArrayData::new()` with `ArrayData::try_new()` and `unsafe ArrayData::new_unchecked`
+6. Sorting should require less memory and be faster
+
+Of course, this release also contains bug fixes, performance improvements, and improved documentation examples. For the full list of changes,
+please consult the [changelog](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/6.0.0/CHANGELOG.md).
+
+# More Frequent Releases
+Arrow releases major versions every three months. The Rust implementation follows this
+major release cycle, and additionally releases minor version updates approximately every other week
+to speed the flow of new features and fixes.
+
+You can always find the latest releases on crates.io: [`arrow`](https://crates.io/crates/arrow), [`parquet`](https://crates.io/crates/parquet),
+[`arrow-flight`](https://crates.io/crates/arrow-flight), and [`parquet-derive`](https://crates.io/crates/parquet-derive).
+
+# DataFusion & Ballista
+[DataFusion](https://docs.rs/datafusion/) is an in-memory query engine with DataFrame and SQL APIs, built on top of Arrow.
+Ballista is a distributed compute platform. These projects are now in their [own repository](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion),
+and are no longer released in lock-step with Arrow.
+
+# Highlighted Functionality
+The memory required to do sorting has been improve by the pull request resolving issue [553](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/553).
+A demonstration for how to sort follows.
+```rust
+extern crate arrow;
+
+use arrow::array::{
+ Int32Array,
+ ArrayRef,
+};
+use std::sync::Arc;
+use arrow::compute::sort;
+
+fn main() {
+
+ let array: ArrayRef = Arc::new(Int32Array::from(vec![5, 4, 23, 1, 20, 2]));
+ println!("{:?}", array);
+ let sorted_array = sort(&array, None).unwrap();
+ println!("{:?}", sorted_array);
+}
+```
+For further examples, see the [source code](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/master/arrow/src/compute/kernels/sort.rs).
+
+# Roadmap for 7.0.0 and Beyond
+Here are some of the initiatives that contributors are currently working on for future releases:
+
+* Validate arguments to ArrayData::new and null bit buffer and buffers
+* add ilike comparitor
+* refactor regexp_is_match_utf8_scalar
+* add support for float 16
+* Updated `UnionArray` support to follow the latest arrow spec
+
