+Read before updating
+--------------------
+
+#. Information for Audio users that are using an external Lavalink instance (if you don't know what that is, you should skip this point):
+
+    We've updated our default application.yml file and you should update your instance's ``application.yml`` accordingly.
+    More specifically, we bumped the version of YT source plugin.

+End-user changelog
+------------------
+
+Additions
+*********
+
+- |cool| **Cogs - Mod** - The DM message (``[p]modset dm``) sent by cog's ban commands can now include customizable extra field (:issue:`6593`)
+
+    This feature can, for example, be useful for providing the banned user with information about the ban appeal process.
+
+    To configure it, look at the subcommands listed in the help text of the ``[p]modset dm`` command.
+
+Changes
+*******
+
+- **Core** - The application (slash) commands will now use the server's configured language rather than the bot's global language, same as regular text commands (:issue:`6272`, :issue:`6579`)
+- **Core** - The option to request a ``file`` will no longer be provided in interactively sent messages when the bot does not actually have the permission to send files in the current channel (:issue:`6540`, :issue:`6552`)
+- **Core - Command-line Interfaces** - Red's error logging will now use standard traceback formatting by default as the Rich tracebacks (previously default) proved to be impractical when providing support to users and affected performance (:issue:`6576`)
+
+    - If you want to continue using Rich tracebacks, you can pass the new ``--rich-tracebacks`` flag when starting Red.
+- **Core - Dependencies** - Red's dependencies have been bumped (:issue:`6599`)
+
+Removals
+********

+- **Core - OS Support** - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is no longer supported as it has already reached its end of life (:issue:`6598`)
