    6.0.0 is the first modernised release of the fork: 64-bit only, built with the VS2026 toolchain, with OpenSSL 4 and TLS 1.2 and 1.3 underneath. Build 4 is the production build, and it fixes the installer defect that made build 3 unusable on fresh installations. What the upgrade involved 6.0 was 64-bit only. The installer dropped the obsolete 2015-era UCRT, which had been included in Windows since Server 2016 / Windows 10. Upgrade notes and the full feature list are in the README. The installer fix Build 3 bundled VS2019-era VC++ runtime DLLs. The service loaded those instead of the current ones and crashed at startup with an access violation in msvcp140.dll on fresh installations. Build 4 ships the matching v145 (14.51) runtimes. Build 3 also fixed MySQL/MariaDB database creation, which was a script line-ending problem, and bundles libmysql.dll. What 6.0 brought OpenSSL 4, TLS 1.2 and 1.3 MTA-STS and DANE, with in-process DNSSEC validation ARC sealing and Ed25519 DKIM ACME (Let's Encrypt) built in REST admin API and Prometheus metrics IMAP MOVE, ID and SPECIAL-USE PBKDF2 password hashing The release was validated by the full regression suite: 898 of 898 tests passing, zero failures, run against a MariaDB (MySQL backend) instance, including live SpamAssassin, ClamAV with real EICAR detection, DMARC against live DNS, and TLS 1.2 and 1.3 end to end.
