+# napari 0.5.0
+
+*Note: these release notes are still in draft while 0.5.0 is in alpha/release
+candidate testing.*
+
+We're happy to announce the release of napari 0.5.0!
+napari is a fast, interactive, multi-dimensional image viewer for Python.
+It's designed for exploring, annotating, and analyzing multi-dimensional
+images. It's built on top of Qt (for the GUI), VisPy (for performant GPU-based
+rendering), and the scientific Python stack (NumPy, SciPy, and friends).
+
+
+For more information, examples, and documentation, please visit our website:
+https://napari.org/
+
+## Highlights
+
+napari 0.5.0 is the beginning of an architectural overhaul of napari. The
+architecture improvements, which are still ongoing, enable more responsive
+asynchronous loading when slicing layers or panning and zooming in multiscale
+2D layers ([#5816](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/5816)).
+
+Other architectural changes, refactoring napari on top of
+[app-model](https://app-model.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), have enabled us to
+(finally 😅) implement [NAP-6](nap-6-contributable-menus), which allows
+plugins to organize their commands in defined menus in the napari menubar
+and application. Please read [NAP-6](nap-6-contributable-menus) for all the
+juicy details, including how to request more menus if the existing ones don't
+meet your needs. 📋 ([#7011](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/7011))
+
+Another important development for plugins is that we have added fields for
+axis names and physical units in layers
+([#6979](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/6979)). If you implement a
+reader plugin, you can now specify the names of the axes in the data that you
+are reading in, and the physical units of the scale and other transformations.
+Currently, napari is *not* using this information, but we will in upcoming
+versions, so plugins should start providing this information if they have it.
+
+There's plenty of new features, too, including a polygon drawing tool when
+painting labels ([#5806](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/5806)),
+pinch-to-zoom ([#5859](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/5859)), better
+ways to show/hide individual layers when exploring your data
+([#5574](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/5574))
+([#5618](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/5618)), creating a layer from
+an image or URL in your clipboard
+([#6532](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/6532)), copy/pasting spatial
+metadata (scale, translate, etc) between layers
+([#6864](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/6864)) and more:
+Over 20 new features in all and over 100 bug fixes and improvements!
