+{% include JB/setup %}
+
+We are excited to announce the release of Scala.js 0.6.1!
+
+This release mostly contains bug fixes, including inefficiencies in the incremental `fastOptJS`.
+It also brings the entire `java.nio.Buffer`s API, with interoperability with the JavaScript [Typed Arrays](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray) API.
+
+## Getting started
+
+If you are new to Scala.js, head over to
+[the tutorial]({{ BASE_PATH }}/doc/tutorial.html).
+
+## Release notes
+
+For changes in the 0.6.x series compared to 0.5.x, read [the announcement of 0.6.0]({{ BASE_PATH }}/news/2015/02/05/announcing-scalajs-0.6.0/).
+
+As a minor release, 0.6.1 is backward source and binary compatible with 0.6.0.
+Libraries compiled with 0.6.0 can be used with 0.6.1 without change.
+However, they will suffer from [bug #1506](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1506), which will cause your `fastOptJS` to perform more work than necessary.
+It is therefore recommended for library authors to upgrade to 0.6.1 and publish new versions of their libraries.
+Scala.js 0.6.0 can read binaries compiled with 0.6.1, so you need not be afraid to force an upgrade of all the users of your libraries.
+
+Please report any issues [on GitHub](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues).
+
+## java.nio.Buffer and Typed Arrays
+
+Scala.js 0.6.1 brings a complete implementation of the `java.nio.Buffer` API, with the exception of `MappedByteBuffer`.
+The non-[direct](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/ByteBuffer.html#direct) buffers work on any JS engine supported by Scala.js, i.e., supporting ECMAScript 5.1.
+
+Direct buffers are implemented with JavaScript [Typed Arrays](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray), and therefore require the JS VM to support them.
+Two additional APIs of the Scala.js standard library provide interoperability with Typed Arrays:
+
+* [TypedArrayBufferOps]({{ site.production_url }}/api/scalajs-library/0.6.1/#scala.scalajs.js.typedarray.TypedArrayBufferOps) allows to retrieve the underlying `ArrayBuffer`, `DataView`, and optionally `TypedArray` of a direct buffer (if it is not read-only)
+* [TypedArrayBuffer]({{ site.production_url }}/api/scalajs-library/0.6.1/#scala.scalajs.js.typedarray.TypedArrayBuffer$) allows to construct direct buffers wrapping existing Typed Arrays.
+
+## Improvements
+
+* [Better dce](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/pull/1488) reduces the size of the generated .js files by a few percents.
+* [java.util.Random](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/pull/1508) and [j.l.Math.random()](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/pull/1511) have been optimized. The latter is now an (inlined) direct forwarder to `js.Math.random()`.
+* Running tests should be faster thanks to [launching JS VMs in advance](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1299).
+* [#1496](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1496) Partial relative paths can now be used in `jsDependencies`.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* [#1478](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1478) Wrong optimization of Float/Double * -1
+* [#1491](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1491) `~fastOptJS` runs non-stop (also reported as [#1513](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1513))
+* [#1506](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1506)/[#1514](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1514) `fastOptJS` performs unnecessary work (requires libraries to be recompiled with 0.6.1)
+* [#1497](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1497) A better error message when trying to `@JSExport` an abstract class
+* [#1499](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1499) `fullOptJS` doesn't generate the `-launcher.js` script
+* [#1515](https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/issues/1515) Hidden crasher bug of the optimizer in obscure cases
