>=20
> Plone 6.1.0 released
> The first alpha release of Plone 6.1 was a year ago, in January.
> The first beta release was in October.
> The first and only release candidate was last week.
>=20
> And now the final 6.1.0 release is here!
>=20
> The big changes compared to 6.0 are:
>=20
> Distributions, the new way to package configuration and content for a =
new Plone Site. plone.volto and plone.classicui are the two core =
distributions. You are very much invited and challenged to create your =
own distributions, with help of the new foundational packages =
plone.distribution and plone.exportimport.
> plone.app.multilingual and plone.app.discussion have become core =
add-ons: no longer in the packages that are pulled in by =
Products.CMFPlone. If you use the Plone Python package you still get =
them, otherwise you should explicitly add them to your system.
> Classic UI has upgraded the TinyMCE rich text editor from 5 to 7. It =
also has a new, more user friendly content browser widget for related =
items.
> A big thank you to all in the Plone community who made this happen =
over the past year and more. A lot was accomplished during sprints, =
while working on company projects, and in spare time. Your effort, =
skill, and devotion is seen. Thank you.
>=20
> Plone 6.0 has had two years of maintenance support and has reached its =
end now. We will probably still do one or two releases the next months, =
but you are encouraged to start using Plone 6.1. Both 6.0 and 6.1 have =
security support until the end of 2027, five years after the release of =
Plone 6.0.0.

'not found' page.
> Volto frontend
>=20
> The default frontend for new Plone 6 sites is Volto.
> Note that this is a JavaScript frontend that you need to run in a =
separate process with NodeJS.
>=20
> Plone 6.1 is meant to be used with Volto 18.
> Latest release is 18.8.1 =
<https://www.npmjs.com/package/@plone/volto/v/18.8.1>. See the changelog =
<https://github.com/plone/volto/blob/18.8.1/packages/volto/CHANGELOG.md>.
>=20
> Classic UI
>=20
> The HTML based and server side rendered UI that was present in Plone =
5.2 and earlier major Plone releases is still available and has also =
been updated and improved upon in Plone 6.0 and 6.1. Our documentation =
now refers to this frontend as 'Classic UI'.
>=20
> Python compatibility
>=20
> This release supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13.
>=20
> pip, buildout, setuptools
>=20
> In Plone core we use these versions to install Plone:
>=20
> packaging=3D=3D24.2
> pip=3D=3D24.3.1
> setuptools=3D=3D75.6.0
> wheel=3D=3D0.45.1
> zc.buildout=3D=3D4.0
> In general you are free to use whatever versions work for you, but =
these worked for us.

pin for it in the requirements.
