+# Lemmy v0.6.0 Release (2020-01-16)
+
+`v0.6.0` is here, and we've closed [41 issues!](https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy/milestone/15?closed=1)
+
+This is the biggest release by far:
+
+- Avatars!
+- Optional Email notifications for username mentions, post and comment replies.
+- Ability to change your password and email address.
+- Can set a custom language.
+- Lemmy-wide settings to disable downvotes, and close registration.
+- A better documentation system, hosted in lemmy itself.
+- [Huge DB performance gains](https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy/issues/411) (everthing down to < `30ms`) by using materialized views.
+- Fixed major issue with similar post URL and title searching.
+- Upgraded to Actix `2.0`
+- Faster comment / post voting.
+- Better small screen support.
+- Lots of bug fixes, refactoring of back end code.
+
+Another major announcement is that Lemmy now has another lead developer besides me, [@felix@radical.town](https://radical.town/@felix). Theyve created a better documentation system, implemented RSS feeds, simplified docker and project configs, upgraded actix, working on federation, a whole lot else.
