+## Release v9.6 - [Feature Release](https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/release-definitions.html#feature-release)
+
+**Release day: March 15, 2024**
+
+### Compatibility
+ - Updated minimum required Edge and Chrome versions to 120+.
+
+```{Important}
+If you upgrade from a release earlier than v9.5, please read the other [Important Upgrade Notes](https://docs.mattermost.com/upgrade/important-upgrade-notes.html).
+```
+
+### Improvements
+
+#### User Interface (UI)
+ - Pre-packaged Calls version [v0.24.0](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-calls/releases/tag/v0.24.0).
+ - Pre-packaged GitLab plugin version [v1.8.0](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-gitlab/releases/tag/v1.8.0).
+ - Added the [Outgoing OAuth Connections](https://mattermost.com/pl/outgoing-oauth-connections) integration type.
+ - Re-designed the **System Console > User Management** screen, and added the ability to batch export users in CSV format (Professional and Enterprise plans). On MySQL, users cannot view live results of the batch export in the user interface.
+ - Improved the appearance of profile/account menus.
+ - Added support for checkbox types in the **System Console** settings.
+ - Added support for WebP image previews in the web app similar to PNG and other image formats.
+ - Several pre-packaged plugins were removed.
+
+#### Administration
+ - Removed some unused Redux actions and reducers, including ``state.entities.posts.selectedPostId``.
+ - Limited the number of user preference updates to 10 per call.
+ - Clarified that the LDAP profile picture setting is optional.
+
+#### mmctl
+ - Extended mmctl with support for user preferences.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+ - Fixed an issue with switching to a **Direct Message** channel with a shared channel user (user from another server).
+ - Fixed an issue with extra space getting added to code blocks in search results.
+ - Fixed an issue where deactivated members were not included in a favorited **Direct Message** channel export.
+ - Fixed an issue where password strength settings wouldn't be disabled if they were set through environment variables.
+ - Fixed an issue where post mentions would grow outside the viewport on small devices.
+ - Fixed an issue with draft removal after deleting the post.
+ - Fixed a markdown issue where, on some occasions, extra space was found before a list.
+ - Fixed an issue where a sender to a custom group would also receive the message notification themselves.
+ - Fixed a web app crash when a System Admin clicked on a link to a private channel that they were not a member of.
+ - Fixed ``ChannelHasBeenCreated`` plugin hook not being called when a group channel was created.
+ - Fixed thread notifications so that if a user had **Thread Reply Notifications** disabled for your account and **Automatically follow threads in this channel** enabled for a channel, the user wouldn't receive thread notifications for that channel per global setting.
+
+### config.json
+ - Multiple setting options were added to ``config.json``. Below is a list of the additions and their default values on install. The settings can be modified in ``config.json``, or the System Console when available.
+
+#### Changes to the Enterprise plan:
+ - Under ``ServiceSettings`` in ``config.json``:
+    - Added ``EnableOutgoingOAuthConnections`` configuration setting for Outgoing OAuth Connections integration type.
+
+### Open Source Components
+ - Added ``@floating-ui/react``, and removed ``@floating-ui/react-dom`` and ``@floating-ui/react-dom-interactions`` from https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/.
+
+### Go Version
+ - v9.6 is built with Go ``v1.20.7``.
+
+### Known Issues
+ - Drafts may still exist after sending the post [MM-57076](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-57076).
+ - Draft is lost from the reply box when other user's root post is deleted [MM-56972](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-56972).
+ - Users' initial status is not always loaded correctly [MM-56966](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-56966).
+ - Status may sometimes get stuck as **Away** or **Offline** in High Availability mode with IP Hash turned off.
+ - Searching stop words in quotation marks with Elasticsearch enabled returns more than just the searched terms.
+ - Slack import through the CLI fails if email notifications are enabled.
+ - Push notifications don't always clear on iOS when running Mattermost in High Availability mode.
+ - The Playbooks left-hand sidebar doesn't update when a user is added to a run or playbook without a refresh.
+ - If a user isn't a member of a configured broadcast channel, posting a status update might fail without any error feedback. As a temporary workaround, join the configured broadcast channels, or remove those channels from the run configuration.
