+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [6.0.0](https://github.com/michel/soulseek-rs/compare/v5.0.0...v6.0.0) - 2026-07-24
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+Library only. If you install the `soulseek-rs` binary there is nothing to do —
+these affect crates depending on `soulseek-rs-lib` 5.x. Sharing moved from a
+single optional directory to a list, which changed three public items.
+
+- `ClientSettings::shared_directory: Option<String>` is now
+  `shared_directories: Vec<String>`. `None` becomes `vec![]`, `Some(dir)`
+  becomes `vec![dir]`.
+- `Client::shared_directory() -> Option<&str>` is replaced by
+  `Client::shared_directories() -> Vec<String>`. The new
+  `Client::set_shared_directories(Vec<String>)` updates the set at runtime.
+- `peer::upload_peer::serve_file` takes two more parameters,
+  `bytes_sent: &AtomicU64` and `cancel: &AtomicBool`, which drive upload
+  progress and cancellation. Pass freshly constructed values to keep the old
+  behaviour.
+
+### Added
+
+- settings popup and uploads in the transfers pane
+- update shared directories at runtime
+- multiple shared directories
+- conventional default download and share folders
+- set aside unusable state files as .bak instead of overwriting
+- persist and restore TUI state across restarts
+- versioned JSON state stores for downloads, searches, rooms
+- in-TUI login/registration screen
+- password resolution via OS keychain and password_cmd
+- config.toml settings layer (CLI > env > file > defaults)
+- track uploads with progress and cancellation
+
+### Fixed
+
+- drop libdbus dependency from keyring Linux backend
+- clippy cleanups in upload tracking and share plumbing
+
+### Other
+
+- persistence e2e and registration-relogin e2e; lint clean
