 ## **Unreleased**
 
+## 6.0.0-beta.1 - 07/03/2025
+
+This first beta release fixes a bug in `virtual-fs` together with other fixes
+to WASIX, adds various functions to check the features of a WebAssembly module
+given its bytes, adds a mechanism to the CLI to automatically switch to a

+without specifying `--llvm` and, finally, also adds QoL improvements to the
+`package unpack` command in the CLI.
