Highlights
Major changes since 6.1.0b1:
- Supports Python 3.13. Python 3.13.0 has a problem though, so you need at least 3.13.1.
Products.CMFPlone: Allow bundles to be rendered after all others.

plone.versioningbehavior for the Page content type. - The
volto.head_titlebehavior has been renamed tovolto.kicker. The old name still works, but is deprecated. Content types should be updated to use the new name.

Volto frontend
The default frontend for new Plone 6 sites is Volto.
Note that this is a JavaScript frontend that you need to run in a separate process with NodeJS.
Plone 6.1 is meant to be used with Volto 18.
Latest release is 18.4.0. See the changelog.
Classic UI
The HTML based and server side rendered UI that was present in Plone 5.2 and earlier major Plone releases is still available and has also been updated and improved upon in Plone 6.0 and 6.1. Our documentation now refers to this frontend as 'Classic UI'.
Python compatibility
This is the first Plone release to support Python 3.13.
This release supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13.
pip, buildout, setuptools
In Plone core we use these versions to install Plone:
pip==24.3.1
setuptools==75.6.0
wheel==0.45.1
zc.buildout==3.3
In general you are free to use whatever versions work for you, but these worked for us.
Note that there is also a zc.buildout 4.0.0a1 release that you could try.
