 In this release, we believe that MacRuby is now stable enough to consider using it to develop Cocoa applications.
 
-Since 0.5's release, we have worked closely with a number of early-adopter developers in finding and fixing a great number of bugs, as well as improving the overall process of creating Cocoa apps in MacRuby, and we believe that MacRuby is now stable enough to permit the creation of complete and functional Cocoa applications that have access to the full suite of Cocoa APIs.

 The "Compile" target in Xcode allows an application to be ahead-of-time compiled to machine code, allowing the developer to avoid including the Ruby source in a shipping application.

 h3. Higher-Level APIs for Grand Central Dispatch 
 
-GCD is a revolutionary approach to multicore computing that is woven throughout the fabric of Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard. It is supported in MacRuby since version 0.5, through the Dispatch module.

 In MacRuby 0.6, we improved the existing native bindings with additional, higher-level abstractions and convenience APIs in the "dispatch" library. We believe these features will help reduce the learning curve for GCD.

 We hope you enjoy the many improvements in this release!
 
-Development on the next release, 0.7 just started. In that release we intend to deliver a next generation compiler and virtual machine that provides very good runtime performance within multicore environments. Stay tuned for more updates!
