+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.6.0 release of
+Apache Arrow nanoarrow. This release covers 114 resolved issues from
+10 contributors.
+
+## Release Highlights
+
+- Run End Encoding support
+- StringView support
+- IPC Write support
+- DLPack/device support
+- IPC/Device available from CMake/Meson as feature flags
+
+See the
+[Changelog](https://github.com/apache/arrow-nanoarrow/blob/apache-arrow-nanoarrow-0.6.0/CHANGELOG.md)
+for a detailed list of contributions to this release.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+Most changes included in the nanoarrow 0.6.0 release will not break downstream
+code; however, two changes with respect to packaging and distribution may
require
+users to update the code used to bring nanoarrow in as a dependency.
+
+In nanoarrow 0.5.0 and earlier, the bundled single-file amalgamation was
included in
+the `dist/` subdirectory or could be generated using a specially-crafted CMake
+command. The nanoarrow 0.6.0 release removes the pre-compiled includes and
migrates
+the code used to generate it to Python. This setup is less confusing for
contributors
+(whose editors would frequently jump into the wrong `nanoarrow.h`) and is a
less confusing
+use of CMake. Users can generate the `dist/` subdirectory as it previously
existed
+with:
+
+``` shell
+python ci/scripts/bundle.py \
+ --source-output-dir=dist \
+ --include-output-dir=dist \
+ --header-namespace= \
+ --with-device \
+ --with-ipc \
+ --with-testing \
+ --with-flatcc
+```
+
+Second, the Arrow IPC and ArrowDeviceArray implementations previously lived in
the `extensions/`
+subdirectory of the repository. This was helpful during the initial
development of these
+features; however, the nanoarrow 0.6.0 release added the requisite feature
coverage and testing
+such that the appropriate home for them is now the main `src/` directory. As
such, one
+can now build nanoarrow with IPC and/or device support using:
+
+``` shell
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake .. -DNANOARROW_IPC=ON -DNANOARROW_DEVICE=ON
