_Leaflet 0.6 released — with nicer controls, better usability and tons of API improvements and various bugfixes — more than 120 changes! The first ever Leaflet Code Sprint happening in Washington, DC with the MapBox team..._
After 5 months of active development with [36 contributors involved](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/graphs/contributors?from=2013-01-18&to=2013-06-26&type=c) since the previous major version, today I'm excited to finally announce the **release of Leaflet 0.6** stable.
0.6 highlights include nicer controls, lots of interaction usability improvements, many new API methods, events and options, much better test infrastructure and TONS of bugfixes that made Leaflet significantly more reliable. Checkout the huge detailed list of changes (**120+ changes**!) [in the changelog](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). The [API reference](../../../reference.html) was also updated to reflect all these changes.
The final push for the release (last 2 days) was a part of the first ever **Leaflet Code Sprint**, organized in Washington DC by the amazing [MapBox](http://mapbox.com), a company responsible for perhaps the greatest innovations and awesome tools in the geospatial world of recent years. The sprint will go on for a week and there are many more awesome improvements to come in upcoming days (and lots of partying as well).
Special thanks go to [Universal Mind](http://universalmind.com/), my awesome employer and sponsor of Leaflet development for the past 5 months, to the most active contributors — [John Firebaugh](https://github.com/jfirebaugh) and [Tom MacWright](https://github.com/tmcw) of [MapBox](http://mapbox.com), [Dave Leaver](https://github.com/danzel) and [Jacob Toye](https://github.com/jacobtoye) of [Smartrak](http://www.smartrak.co.nz/), [Steve Kashis](https://github.com/snkashis) of [CaerusGeo](http://www.caerusgeo.com/), and to everyone else involved in contributions, bug reports, mailing list, Twitter, making awesome apps, etc. You're such an amazing community! I'm really happy to be a part of it.
Grab the CDN links or downloads for the new release on the [download page](../../../download.html) as always. Enjoy! And be sure try it out and report any regressions in your apps so that we can patch them up immediately.
P.S. Everyone who tweets/posts about the new Leaflet release or why he loves Leaflet over the next few days will get a karma boost of over 9000 points. I heard that from a passing monk in Georgetown yesterday, true story!
Cheers,<br />
Vladimir, Leaflet creator and maintainer.

Leaflet is a modern open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps.
It is developed by [Vladimir Agafonkin][] with a&nbsp;team of dedicated [contributors][].
Weighing just about <abbr title="28KB gzipped &mdash; that's 110 KB minified and 196 KB in the source form, with 10 KB of CSS (2 KB gzipped) and 7 KB of images.">28 KB of JS code</abbr>,

it has all the [features][] most developers ever need for online maps.
Leaflet is designed with _simplicity_, _performance_ and _usability_ in mind.
