+Scala 3.3.6 LTS is now available!
+
+This patch release backports most of the bugfixes and some of the improvements introduced in the Scala Next series up to the Scala 3.6.4 release.
+All of the backported changes were proven to not break either binary or source compatibility, by testing over 1500 projects in the [Scala 3 Open Community Build](https://github.com/VirtusLab/community-build3).
+
+# Notable changes

+## Scala LTS Release Notice
+
+The Scala LTS series introduces a delay before backporting non-critical changes from the latest Scala Next stable releases. This delay helps minimize the risk of regressions that may be uncovered during testing.
+
+The next planned LTS release will include updates introduced until Scala 3.7.3.
