+skiboot-6.7
+===========
+
+skiboot v6.7 was released on Tuesday November 3rd 2020. It is the first release
+of skiboot 6.7 series, which becomes the new stable release following the
+:ref:`skiboot-6.6` release, first released Wednesday April 22nd 2020.
+
+The main reason for this release is the addition of secure variable support and
+the Mowgli platform. Aside from these feature, this release is largely bug-fixes.
+However, this is expected since we're approaching the end of the P9 product cycle
+and development has largely shifted towards enabling a future processor with a
+difficult-to-guess name.

+New features
+------------
+
+- Secure Variable support
+
+  The secure variable API provides the host operating system with space to
+  store cryptographic keys for OS secure boot. The security comes from the
+  requirement that all secure variable updates be cryptographically signed
+  so the keys used to verify the secure boot chain can only be updated by
+  a user authorized to do so.
+
+- Fleetwood platform support
+
+  Support was added for the multi-node IBM Fleetwood systems. This support
+  was largely for internal IBM testing purposes and is not, and will not, ever
+  be offically supported.
+
+- Mowgli platform support
+
+  Support was added for the Mowgli platform built by Wistron.
