+=============
+
+skiboot 6.0.7 was released on Friday August 3rd, 2018. It replaces
+:ref:`skiboot-6.0.6` as the current stable release in the 6.0.x series.
+
+It is recommended that 6.0.7 be used instead of any previous 6.0.x version
+due to it containing a workaround for hardware errata in the XIVE interrupt
+controller (present on POWER9 systems).
+
+The bug fix is:
+
+- xive: Disable block tracker
+
+ Due to some HW errata, the block tracking facility (performance optimisation
+ for large systems) should be disabled on Nimbus chips. Disable it unconditionally
+ for now.
