+
+Cowboy `2.6.0` has been released!
+
+Cowboy 2.6 greatly refactored the HTTP/2 code, a large
+part of which was moved to Cowlib and is now used by
+both the Cowboy server and the Gun client.
+
+A large number of tickets were also closed which
+resulted in many bugs fixed and many features and
+options added, although some of them are still
+experimental.
+
+Of note is the support for the PROXY protocol header
+built directly into Cowboy; the ability to use the
+sendfile tuple to send files while streaming a
+response body (for example you could build a tar
+file on the fly); and experimental support for range
+requests in the REST and static file handlers,
+including an automatic mode that lets you enable
+byte range requests to existing handlers with
+what's basically a one-liner.
+
+Many options have also been added and many bugs have
+been fixed.
+
+A complete
+list of changes can be found in the migration guide:
+https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.6/guide/migrating_from_2.5/[Migrating from Cowboy 2.5 to 2.6].

+testing.

+As usual, feedback is appreciated, and issues or
+questions should be sent via Github tickets. Thanks!
