+title: Replicant 6.0 released
+---
+Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has been done to move
+Replicant to a new version and to add new features. Everything started with a
+(now archived) [forum post][1] in January 2016 that documented the initial
+efforts to get Replicant 6.0 somehow working on a Galaxy S3. Development
+continued through the first half of 2016, however by far most of the work was
+done from September 2016 onwards.
+
+Replicant 4.2, the last release, was based on CyanogenMod 10.1 and Android 4.2
+respectively. Replicant 6.0 is based on LineageOS 13.0 which is based on
+Android 6.0. Replicant 6.0 includes all the improvements that were made since
+CyanogenMod 10.1. Have a look at the [changelog][2] for an overview of the new
+features and changes that were additionally made on our side.
+
+This initial release supports the [Galaxy S2][3], [Galaxy S3][4] and [Galaxy
+Note 2][5]. The [Galaxy S3 4G][6] was added as an incomplete device for now as
+support for telephony and mobile data is missing. The [status page][7] shows
+which functionalities are supported on the individual devices. The [previous
+blog post][8] details the reasons why no SDK is provided as part of the
+release.
+
+Unfortunately, this release only supports a subset of the devices that were
+previously supported by Replicant 4.2. So adding support for more devices has
+the highest priority for the next update. Thanks to device donations from the
+community, it will be possible to get Replicant 6.0 working on the GTA04,
+Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Galaxy Note. Please
+consider [donating to Replicant][9] to help development.
+
+As an additional release goal, a complete wiki overhaul was completed over the
+last two months. Besides updating outdated pages and a general cleanup, a lot
+of new documentation is now available for users and developers alike. We hope
+the new release will attract more developers, so that we can tackle some of
+the [tasks][10] we have been facing for a long time.
