+
+The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.6.0 release. It includes
+[**90 resolved JIRAs**][1] with the new Plasma shared memory object store, and
+improvements and bug fixes to the various language implementations. The Arrow
+memory format remains stable since the 0.3.x release.
+
+See the [Install Page][2] to learn how to get the libraries for your
+platform. The [complete changelog][5] is also available.
+
+## Plasma Shared Memory Object Store
+
+This release includes the [Plasma Store][7], which you can read more about in
+the linked blog post. This system was originally developed as part of the [Ray
+Project][8] at the [UC Berkeley RISELab][9]. We recognized that Plasma would be
+highly valuable to the Arrow community as a tool for shared memory management
+and zero-copy deserialization. Additionally, we believe we will be able to
+develop a stronger software stack through sharing of IO and buffer management
+code.
+
+The Plasma store is a server application which runs as a separate process. A
+reference C++ client, with Python bindings, is made available in this
+release. Clients can be developed in Java or other languages in the future to
+enable simple sharing of complex datasets through shared memory.
+
+## Arrow Format Addition: Map type
+
+We added a Map logical type to represent ordered and unordered maps
+in-memory. This corresponds to the `MAP` logical type annotation in the Parquet
+format (where maps are represented as repeated structs).
+
+Map is represented as a list of structs. It is the first example of a logical
+type whose physical representation is a nested type. We have not yet created
+implementations of Map containers in any of the implementations, but this can
+be done in a future release.
+
+As an example, the Python data:
+
+```
+data = [{'a': 1, 'bb': 2, 'cc': 3}, {'dddd': 4}]
+```
+
+Could be represented in an Arrow `Map<String, Int32>` as:
+
+```
+Map<String, Int32> = List<Struct<keys: String, values: Int32>>
+  is_valid: [true, true]
+  offsets: [0, 3, 4]
+  values: Struct<keys: String, values: Int32>
+    children:
+      - keys: String
+          is_valid: [true, true, true, true]
+          offsets: [0, 1, 3, 5, 9]
+          data: abbccdddd
+      - values: Int32
+          is_valid: [true, true, true, true]
+          data: [1, 2, 3, 4]
+```
+## Python Changes
+
+Some highlights of Python development outside of bug fixes and general API
+improvements include:
+
+* New `strings_to_categorical=True` option when calling `Table.to_pandas` will
+  yield pandas `Categorical` types from Arrow binary and string columns
+* Expanded Hadoop Filesystem (HDFS) functionality to improve compatibility with
+  Dask and other HDFS-aware Python libraries.
+* s3fs and other Dask-oriented filesystems can now be used with
+  `pyarrow.parquet.ParquetDataset`
+* More graceful handling of pandas's nanosecond timestamps when writing to
+  Parquet format. You can now pass `coerce_timestamps='ms'` to cast to
+  milliseconds, or `'us'` for microseconds.
+
+## Toward Arrow 1.0.0 and Beyond
+
+We are still discussing the roadmap to 1.0.0 release on the [developer mailing
+list][6]. The focus of the 1.0.0 release will likely be memory format stability
+and hardening integration tests across the remaining data types implemented in
+Java and C++. Please join the discussion there.
