Dear hakkers, We are pleased to announce a new patch release of Akka 2.6. This release brings important fixes for Akka Stream performance regressions in [Source.fromPublisher](https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/30022) and [Flow.future and Flow.prefixAndTail](https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/30039). Note that this release may need your project to upgrade to the latest Scala version to compile (Scala 2.13.4+ or 2.12.13+) because of an issue with the `@nowarn` annotation [#30018](https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/30018). If not compilation may fail with this error: ```auto Symbol 'type scala.annotation.nowarn' is missing from the classpath. ``` Other noteworthy improvements in this release: - SBR downing when it knows it has been quarantined by a remote cluster node [#29565](https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/29565) - Separate logger for Akka internal log entries in EventSourcedBehavior [#30005](https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/30005) - Typed teskit would double-dilate configured timeouts [#30021](https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/30021) - Full cluster shutdown [#29838](https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/29838) 2.6.13 includes 28 closed issues. The complete list can be found on the [2.6.13 milestone](https://github.com/akka/akka/milestone/174?closed=1) on github. ## Credits For this release we had the help of 12 committers – thank you all very much! ```auto commits added removed 12 498 78 Johan Andrén 4 92 50 Ignasi Marimon-Clos 3 88 127 Nicolas Vollmar 2 12 4 Patrik Nordwall 1 2302 1231 Andrea Peruffo 1 780 52 Christopher Batey 1 216 75 Renato Cavalcanti 1 106 15 Levi Ramsey 1 8 8 Arnout Engelen 1 6 2 taketora 1 2 1 Mitsuyuki Shiiba 1 1 1 lmetrak ``` [Lightbend](https://www.lightbend.com/) employs the Akka core team.

Hi there, just wondering whether akka is/will be available for Scala 3. Or what is the status - can I use akka with Scala 3? Sorry for asking here, I couldnt find more appropriate place to ask… ---

Hi, Scala 3 is backwards compatible with 2.13 so you should be able to use the 2.13 Akka artifacts fine. There has been some work compiling Akka itself on top of 3 (core actors and their tests currently compile) but we do not publish any specific artifacts yet.
