+# Jasmine Core 6.0.0 Release Notes
+
+## Summary
+
+This is a major release that includes breaking changes as well as significant
+new features. Many of the breaking changes and deprecations in this release are 
+intended to improve the stability of the Jasmine ecosystem by making the
+distinction between public and private APIs more obvious, reducing exposure of
+jasmine-core's internal state, removing ambiguities from the reporter API, and
+warning about monkey patching.
+
+6.x is intended to ba a relatively short-lived, transitional series. It is 
+compatible with the current versions of karma-jasmine and other legacy Angular 
+tools but emits deprecation warnings when used with them. 7.0 will drop 
+compatibility with those tools. If you use Karma in a non-Angular context,
+consider migrating to a maintained alternative such as jasmine-browser-runner or
+web-test-runner. If you use Angular, please direct any questions about support
+for future versions of Jasmine to the Angular team.
+
+Please see the [migration guide](https://jasmine.github.io/upgrade-guides/6.0)
+for more information. If you use Jasmine via the `jasmine` package, please see 
+[its release notes](https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine-npm/blob/main/release_notes/6.0.0.md)
+as well.
+
+
+## Changes to supported environments
+
+* Node 18 is no longer supported.
+
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+### General
+
+* Private APIs have been removed from the `jasmine` namespace.
+
+  The purpose of this change is to reduce the risk of users inadvertently
+  depending on private APIs. Anything not covered by
+  [the documentation](https://jasmine.github.io/pages/docs_home.html) remains
+  private regardless of namespacing. Private APIs may be changed or removed in
+  any release. This change is being made in a major release as a courtesy to 
+  users of libraries that depend on private APIs.
+
+### Changes that affect spec writing
+
+* Global error spies always receive a single argument. Previously, the browser
+  error event was passed as the second argument.
+* If a spy is invoked via `.call(null, ...)` or `.apply(null, ...)`, the spy's
+  `this` argument will be `null`. Previously it was `globalThis`.
+* Mock clock timing functions cannot be spied on. Previously this "worked" but
+  prevented the mock clock from uninstalling itself.
+* The mock clock no longer supports the eval forms of `setTimeout` and
+  `setInterval`.
+* Keys passed to `setSpecProperty`/`setSuiteProperty` must be strings. Values
+  must be both structured-cloneable and JSON-serializable.
+
+### Changes that affect configuration
+
+* HTML reporters cache configuration throughout each run. Configuration changes
+  made while specs are running will not affect reporter behavior.
+* If an execution order is passed to `Env#execute`, it must not enter any suite
+  more than once.
+* The argument passed to spec filters is a
+  [spec metadata](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/Spec.html)
+  instance, not the internal spec object.
+* The default value of the `forbidDuplicateNames` config option has been
+  changed to true.
+
+### Changes that affect reporters
+
+This release includes changes that are intended to streamline and clarify the
+reporter interface, prevent sharing of mutable state, and prevent bugs involving
+non-serializable objects. These changes should be compatible with most existing
+reporters but could break reporters that manage their internal state in unusual
+ways.
+
+* Meaningless properties such as `status` and `failedExpectations` are omitted
+  from the events passed to [suiteStarted](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/global.html#SuiteStartedEvent)
+  and [specStarted](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/global.html#SpecStartedEvent).
+* Reporter events are deep-cloned before being passed to each reporter. This
+  protects reporters against later mutation by jasmine-core or other reporters.
+* The `expected` and `actual` properties of
+  [passed and failed expectations](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/global.html#ExpectationResult)
+  have been removed.
+* The [order](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/global.html#Order)
+  property of the`jasmineStarted` and `jasmineDone` reporter events no longer
+  includes undocumented properties.
+* boot1.js no longer adds `jsApiReporter` to the env.
+
+### Changes that affect browser boot files
+
+* The `createElement` and `createTextNode` options of the legacy `HtmlReporter`
+  are ignored. `HtmlReporter` now unconditionally uses `document.createElement`
+  and `document.createTextNode`.
+
+### Changes to Node boot functions
+
+* [boot](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/module-jasmine-core.html#.boot)
+  defaults to creating a new core instance each time it's called. This restores
+  the pre-5.0 default behavior.
+* [noGlobals](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/module-jasmine-core.html#.noGlobals)
+  no longer takes a parameter. It always returns the same object when called
+  repeatedly.
+
+
+## New features
+
+* A new `HtmlReporterV2` with several improvements over the old `HtmlReporter`:
+    * Clicking a spec/suite link does exact filtering rather than a substring
+      match.
+    * The old dots are replaced with a progress bar. This improves usability with
+      large suites and fixes an accessibility problem.
+    * Details of failed specs are displayed as soon as each spec finishes.
+    * A Performance tab shows metrics and a list of the slowest specs.
+    * Initialization and wire-up in boot files are much simpler.
+
+  If you're using jasmine-browser-runner or copying boot1.js from the standalone
+  distribution, you'll automatically get the new reporter. If you maintain your
+  own boot files, you'll get the old reporter unless you update your boot files
+  to match the one that's in this package.
+
+  The new reporter produces `spec` query string parameters that are different
+  from those created by the old reporter. If you use other software that
+  interprets the `spec` parameter, such as karma-jasmine, you won't be able to
+  adopt `HtmlReporterV2` unlesss that other software is updated.
+
+* Larger body font size in HTML reporters
+* `globalThis` is used to determine the global object during initialization
+  This makes jasmine-core more tolerant of buggy bundlers or loaders that
+  cause `this` to be undefined in the global context.
+* Experimental [`safariYieldStrategy: "time"`](https://jasmine.github.io/api/6.0/Configuration.html#safariYieldStrategy)
+  config option, which may make Jasmine run significantly faster in Safari and 
+  similar browsers. So far, this option has not been tested on a wide variety of
+  workloads. Feedback is appreciated.
+* Statically exposed pretty printer as `jasmine.pp()`.
+
+
+## Deprecations
+
+* Common monkey patching patterns are detected and result in a deprecation
+  warning. Code that overwrites anything provided by jasmine-core (other than
+  globals like `it`/`expect`/etc or configuration properties like
+  `jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL`) may be broken by any jasmine-core release.
+* Warn if jasmine-core is loaded as an ES module in a browser.
+  This is an untested and unsupported configuration that has been known to cause
+  problems.
+* `HtmlReporter` and `HtmlSpecFilter` are deprecated in favor of `HtmlReporterV2`.
+* `jsApiReporter` is deprecated.
+
+
+## Documentation improvements
+
+* Improved API reference documentation for APIs that are used from browser boot
+  files.
+* Documented the set of possible spec statuses.
+* Documented that globals are overwriteable.
+
+
+## Internal improvements
+
+* Encapsulated suite and spec result and status management.
+* Adopted strict mode throughout the codebase.
+* Decomposed `HtmlReporter` into components and converted to ES6 classes.
+* Made global error handling more uniform between browsers and Node.
+* Removed code to support browsers that don't have `MessageChannel`. Jasmine 
+  hasn't run in any such browsers since 2.x.
+* Replaced `isArray` helper with native `Array.isArray`.
+
