+# 6.1.0 - 2026-03-16
+
+## Summary
+
+This release renamed some of the GitHub workflows which requires to update your branch protection. It needs to be `Merge Gate / Allow Merge` in contrast to `merge-gate / Allow Merge` in the past.
+
+This release also changes the semantics of field `PROJECT_CONFIG.add_to_excluded_python_paths`.
+
+Before, a `.venv` directory would have be excluded no matter what parent directory structure it had. Now, only ROOT_PATH / `.venv` would be excluded. If you have multiple paths like `.venv` before, you will need to specifically specify them relative to the ROOT_PATH.
+
+Please see the user guide for details.
+
+Additionally the release updates the references to GitHub actions `cache` and `setup-python` to avoid using deprecated Node.js 20 actions.
+
+## Features
+
+* #697: Supported multi-part paths in `add_to_excluded_python_paths`
+
+## Refactoring
+
+* #728: Updated to latest PTB workflows and added `.workflow-patcher.yml`
+* #736: Capitalized and shorten names of GitHub workflows
+* #745: Updated references to GitHub actions cache and setup-python
