## Highlights

Major changes since 6.0.1:

* `plone.rest`: Change the HTTP status from 301 (Moved Permanently) to 302 (Found) for GET requests and to 307 (Temporary Redirect) for other request methods.  This fixes problems when an existing redirect is re-used.
* `plone.restapi`:
  * Request of own user data provides joined groups.
  * Implement `IPurgePaths` for RestAPI traversal (`++api++`).
  * Implement `IRuleAction` and `IRuleCondition` schema serialization in `@controlpanels/content-rules/` endpoint.
* `plone.staticresources`: Upgrade Mockup to 5.0.5.
* `plone.app.locales`: Update translations for tr, es, eu, de.
* Various packages: drop support for older Python, Zope or Plone versions, declare dependencies better, cleanup code.


## Volto frontend
