+Ranch `1.6.0` has been released!
+
+This release sees the introduction of a suspend/resume
+mechanism for the listeners which makes the listener
+close the listening socket and stop accepting new
+connections. Existing connections continue uninterrupted.
+
+This can be used to update the socket options of the
+listener, or to implement a graceful shutdown. To
+that end a function has also been added which allows
+waiting until connections reach a certain number.
+
+This release also introduces many changes to prepare
+for the transition to Ranch 2.0 that will be released
+in the coming months. The guide now features a section
+listing all upcoming changes in Ranch 2.0.
+
+The manual has been updated to provide a separate
+manual page per function and module, just like for
+the Gun and Cowboy manuals.
+
+A complete
+list of changes can be found in the migration guide:
+https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/ranch/1.6/guide/migrating_from_1.5/[Migrating from Ranch 1.5 to 1.6].

+These funds are used to pay for additional servers for
+testing. A new server was added last month and allows
+me to test with additional Linux distributions Alpine,
+CentOS and Debian. Thanks in advance!
+
+As usual, feedback is appreciated, and issues or
+questions should be sent via Github tickets. Thanks!
