 Here are brief summaries of what's changed between each snapshot release.
 
+Milestone 6
+-----------
+
+* Added the `Corda technical white paper <_static/corda-technical-whitepaper.pdf>`_. Note that its current version
+  is 0.5 to reflect the fact that the Corda design is still evolving. Although we expect only relatively small tweaks
+  at this point, when Corda reaches 1.0 so will the white paper.
+
+* Major documentation restructuring and new content:
+
+    * More details on Corda node internals.
+    * New CorDapp tutorial.
+    * New tutorial on building transactions.
+    * New tutorials on how to run and use a notary service.
+
+* An experimental version of the deterministic JVM sandbox has been added. It is not integrated with the node and will
+  undergo some significant changes in the coming releases before it is integrated, as the code is finished, as bugs are
+  found and fixed, and as the platform subset we choose to expose is finalised. Treat this as an outline of the basic
+  approach rather than something usable for production.
+
+* Developer experience:
+
+    * Samples have been merged back into the main repository. All samples can now be run via command line or IntelliJ.
+
+    * Added a Client RPC python example.
+
+    * Node console output now displays concise startup information, such as startup time or web address. All logging to
+      the console is suppressed apart from errors and flow progress tracker steps. It can be re-enabled by passing
+      ``--log-to-console`` command line parameter. Note that the log file remains unchanged an will still contain all
+      log entries.
+
+    * The ``runnodes`` scripts generated by the Gradle plugins now open each node in separate terminal windows or (on macOS) tabs.
+
+    * A much more complete template app.
+
+    * JARs now available on Maven Central.
+
+* Data model: A party is now identified by a composite key (formerly known as a "public key tree") instead of a single public key.
+  Read more in :ref:`composite-keys`. This allows expressing distributed service identities, e.g. a distributed notary.
+  In the future this will also allow parties to use multiple signing keys for their legal identity.
+
+* Decentralised consensus: A prototype RAFT based notary composed of multiple nodes has been added. This implementation
+  is optimised for high performance over robustness against malicious cluster members, which may be appropriate for
+  some financial situations. See :ref:`notary-demo` to try it out. A BFT notary will be added later.
+
+* Node explorer app:
+
+    * New theme aligned with the Corda branding.
+    * The New Transaction screen moved to the Cash View (as it is used solely for cash transactions)
+    * Removed state machine/flow information from Transaction table. A new view for this will be created in a future release.
+    * Added a new Network View that displays details of all nodes on the network.
+    * Users can now configure the reporting currency in settings.
+    * Various layout and performance enhancements.
+
+* Client RPC:
+
+    * Added a generic ``startFlow`` method that enables starting of any flow, given sufficient permissions.
+    * Added the ability for plugins to register additional classes or custom serialisers with Kryo for use in RPC.
+    * ``rpc-users.properties`` file has been removed with RPC user settings moved to the config file.
+
+* Configuration changes: It is now possible to specify a custom legal name for any of the node's advertised services.
+
+* Added a load testing framework which allows stress testing of a node cluster, as well as specifying different ways of
+  disrupting the normal operation of nodes. See :doc:`loadtesting`.
+
+* Improvements to the experimental contract DSL, by Sofus Mortensen of Nordea Bank (please give Nordea a shoutout too).
+
+API changes:
+
+* The top level package has been renamed from ``com.r3corda`` to ``net.corda``.
+* Protocols have been renamed to "flows".
+* ``OpaqueBytes`` now uses ``bytes`` as the field name rather than ``bits``.
