+- [major] For details on the major changes in calibre between 6.0 and 5.0, see https://calibre-ebook.com/new-in/fifteen
+
+- [major] Full text search: You can now search the entire text of all books in your calibre library
+
+- [major] Support for new CPU architectures: Apple Silicon and ARM64 on Linux. Support for 32bit CPUs has been dropped because Qt 6 does not support them
+
+- Dark mode in calibre is now controlled via a setting in Preferences->Look & feel rather than an environment variable
+
+- Allow choosing different icon themes for light and dark mode in Preferences->Look & feel
+
+- Upgrade calibre to use Qt 6. This means that some no longer maintained third party plugins may not work, though most plugins have already been ported
