+We are very pleased to announce the availability of Scala 2.11.7!
 
-* Get started with the [Hello Scala 2.11 template](https://typesafe.com/activator/template/hello-scala-2_11) in [Typesafe Activator](https://typesafe.com/platform/getstarted)

-Scala 2.11.6 is a bugfix release that is binary compatible with previous releases in the Scala 2.11 series. We would like to highlight the following changes:
-
- - We [fixed a cross-site scripting vulnerability](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/4350) in Scaladoc's JavaScript. Many thanks to @todesking for discovering this, suggesting a fix, and for delaying disclosure until this release! This bug could be used to access sensitive information on sites hosted on the same domain as Scaladoc-generated documentation. All previous versions of Scaladoc are affected (Scala 2.10.5 includes the fix as well). We do recommend, as a general precaution, to host Scaladoc documentation on its own domain.
- - [SI-9089](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9089) repl is now much less crash-and-burny when calling a function (which turns out to be a common thing people do in a REPL). Also, apologies to the author of [SI-9022](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9022), who [reported this before the bug was discovered and you had to wait in line for like three hours on a Tuesday afternoon](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9022#comment-71996). Or, maybe, that honor should go to the enigmatic [dk14](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27213616/why-specialized-annotation-doesnt-work-for-asinstanceof/27221875).
- - [SI-8759](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-8759) no need to enter almost half the konami code to enter a right square bracket in the REPL (via [jline 2.12.1](https://github.com/jline/jline2/pull/175)). Thank you for implementing the jline fix, @michael72, and kudos to @jdillon and @trptcolin for cutting a new jline release just for us!
+We would like to highlight the following changes:
 
-Compared to 2.11.5, this release resolves [38 issues](https://issues.scala-lang.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SI%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20AND%20fixVersion%20in%20%28%22Scala%202.11.6%22%29%20ORDER%20BY%20component%20ASC%2C%20priority%20DESC). Out of 100, we [merged 58 pull requests](https://github.com/scala/scala/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+milestone%3A2.11.6). Before upgrading, please also check the [known issues](https://issues.scala-lang.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SI%20AND%20status%3Dopen%20AND%20affectedVersion%20%3D%20%22Scala%202.11.6%22%20and%20fixVersion%20%3E%3D%20%22Scala%202.11.6%22%20ORDER%20BY%20component%20ASC%2C%20priority%20DESC) for this release.
+* The Scala REPL is now easier for projects such as Spark to embed and customize ([PR #4563](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/4563), [SI-7747](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9181)).
+* Pattern matching is now faster on large numbers of cases ([SI-7747](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9181)).
+* Experimental support for Java 8 lambdas is available via `-Ydelambdafy:method` ([more info](https://github.com/scala/make-release-notes/blob/2.11.x/experimental-backend.md)).
 
-In 2015, 2.11 minor releases will be released quarterly, or sooner if prompted by a serious issue.

-A large number of Scala projects have been released against Scala 2.11. Please refer to the list of [libraries and frameworks available for Scala 2.11](https://github.com/scala/make-release-notes/blob/2.11.x/projects-2.11.md).
+### Contributors
 
-### Reminder: Do Not Use Scala 2.11.3
-Due to a [binary incompatibility](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-8899) in Scala 2.11.3, we recommend upgrading to Scala 2.11.6, which resolves the incompatibility, as well as another [blocker issue](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-8900) that was discovered in the days after the 2.11.3 release.
+A big thank you to everyone who's helped improve Scala by reporting bugs, improving our documentation, spreading kindness in mailing lists and other public fora, and submitting and reviewing pull requests! You are all magnificent.
 
-We have [analyzed](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/scala-internals/SSD9BNJaFbU/rACBkHrs2JEJ) the mistakes that lead to the breakage (human error), and are taking measures to prevent this from happening again. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank everyone who was involved in reporting and diagnosing these critical issues.
