+# Jasmine Core 6.0.0-beta.0 Release Notes
+
+This is a pre-release, intended to offer a preview of upcoming changes and to
+solicit feedback.
+
+## A Note About Pre-Release Compatibility
+
+There may be additional breaking changes in future 6.0 pre-releases or in the
+final 6.0 release. That's allowed by the semver specification, but users are
+sometimes unpleasantly surprised by it.
+
+NPM's implementation of carat version ranges assumes that subsequent
+pre-releases and final releases are fully compatible with earlier pre-releases.
+If your package.json contains `"jasmine-core": "^6.0.0-beta.0`,
+NPM might install any later 6.x version even though there is no guarantee of
+compatibility. If that isn't ok, you should specify an exact pre-release version:
+`"jasmine-core": "6.0.0-beta.0`.
+
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+* boot1.js no longer adds jsApiReporter to the env.
+* HtmlReporterV2 initialization and boot1.js have been simplified. If you 
+  maintain your own boot file, update it to match the boot1.js included in this
+  package.
+
+
+## New features
+
+* Statically exposed pretty printer as jasmine.pp().
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* Fixed HtmlReporterV2 progress bar when running a subset of specs.
+
+
+## Deprecations
+
+* jsApiReporter is deprecated.
+* Detect monkey patching and emit a deprecation warning.
+
+## Documentation improvements
+
+* Documented the set of possible spec statuses.
+
+
+## Internal improvements
+
+* Replaced isArray helper with native Array.isArray
+
+
+## Supported environments
+
+This version has been tested in the following environments.
+
+| Environment       | Supported versions             |
+|-------------------|--------------------------------|
+| Node              | 20, 22, 24                     |
+| Safari            | 16**, 17**, 26.1**             |
+| Chrome            | 142*                           |
+| Firefox           | 102**, 115**, 128**, 140, 145* |
+| Edge              | 142*                           |
+
+\* Evergreen browser. Each version of Jasmine is tested against the latest
+version available at release time.<br>
+\** Supported on a best-effort basis. Support for these versions may be dropped
+if it becomes impractical, and bugs affecting only these versions may not be
+treated as release blockers.
