Babel 6 is fresh off the press and we’re still getting a lot sorted out. In the past two days we've seen more activity on GitHub and Slack than ever before. Everyone who has been helping out has been doing a great job.

In the past few months Babel has been welcomed into several major communities such as Node, React, Ember, Backbone, Angular, Rails, and many others. We launched the Users page only a few weeks ago and it's really cool to see everyone that is using it. Companies like CloudFlare, Netflix, Mozilla, and Yahoo!. Projects like Ghost, Atom, Mapbox, and so many more.

We've seen tons of blog posts, talks, events, courses all about ES6+ using Babel, and official Babel tools have been downloaded nearly 2 million times.

Today we are making by far the largest release of Babel ever.

我想从 6to5 最新重大事件发生后都开始写博客文章。虽然还没有发生重大事件，不过这几天的时间，6to5 和 6to5-core 已经被下载五十万次，并且在一个月时间内将会超过一百万次。

过去，对于 6to5 在 JavaScript 社区中的所处角色存在一些混淆，这在很大程度上是由于它的名称产生的误解导致。

但是 6to5 并非出生而逐渐走向灭亡。

过去几周，我们看到 6to5 项目有很多动态；每天在世界各个角落都有成千上万的人在下载。在过去一个月中，已经关闭 200 多个 issue。从 2.0 发布以来，已经有 867 次 commit(提交)、60 个 minor(次要版本) 和 patch(补丁版本) 发布。它的下载量是 npm 下载量最多的 packages 中的前 1％，仅在上个月就有近 100k 的下载量。

今天我们将发布 3.0。
