Hello naparistas!

In recent months, core dev @czaki has been hard at work to improve the performance of our Shapes layer. We've now released napari 0.5.6rc0 with the option to turn on C++ acceleration of Shapes layer creation. If you use the Shapes layer please help us with testing! Check out our ✨brand new blog✨ for all the details!

6 years ago to this minute 🥳🎂, napari co-founder @royerlab made the initial commit to the “napari-core” repo.

https://github.com/napari/napari-core/commit/813de2bf8f13915582932565ea2a37898b459143

Since then, over 150 community members have contributed to the napari code, docs, and tooling, and over 400 plugins have been developed.

We know that development has slowed over the past couple of years. We are working on that 😅. There is so much left to do, but today we invite you to celebrate everything we have achieved using the #napariAt6 hashtag! 🎈
