+v1.6
+----
+
+This is release v1.6.0, "Hubbeliges Krokodil". This release adds experimental SHA256 support and includes many new features and bugfixes.
+
+## What's Changed
+
+### New features
+
+* **Support for bare repositories with SHA256 support (experimental)** by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6191
+   You can configure experimental SHA256 support in libgit2 with `cmake -DEXPERIMENTAL_SHA256=ON` during project setup. This is useful for considering future integrations, work on clients, and work on language bindings. At present, working with bare repositories should largely work, including remote operations. But many pieces of functionality - including working with the index - are not yet supported. As a result, **libgit2 with SHA256 support should not be used in production or released with package distribution.**
+
+* **Support the notion of a home directory separately from global configuration directory** by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6455 and https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6456
+  Callers and language bindings can now configure the home directory that libgit2 uses for file lookups (eg, the `.ssh` directory). This configuration is separate from the git global configuration path.
+
+* **stash: partial stash specific files** by @gitkraken-jacobw in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6330
+  A stash can be created with only specific files, using a pathspec. This is similar to the `git stash push` command.
+
+* **push: revparse refspec source, so you can push things that are not refs** by @sven-of-cord in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6362
+  Pushes can be performed using refspecs instead of only references.
+
+* **Support OpenSSL3** by @ethomson in https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6464 and https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/6471
+  OpenSSL 3 is now supported, both when compiled directly and dynamically loaded.
