+## [0.6.0] - 2020-01-04
+
+This is the first official release to support **Python 3** (≥ 3.5).  I've tried not to break Python 2 compatibility, but I'm **officially not supporting Python 2.7** any further, especially since its end-of-life has come.
+
+Some other changes — both old, that had been merged but not released, and new — are also part of this release:
+
+### Added
+* (#12) Add `channel` and `velocity` properties and setters to Note
+* (#18) Update LilyPond.from_Bar to handle minor, flat and sharp keys
+* Better documentation for developers and standardization of the development environment
+
+### Changed
+* (#42) Fix: 3/x (3/8, 3/16, etc.) are not compound meters
+
+### Fixed
+* (#11) Documentation fixes
+* (#14) Fix LilyPond filename extension detection
