 ## Version 6
 
+### v6.9.4
+
+Released on Oct 29th, 2025
+
+#### Signing process change and migration fixes
+
+This is a small update which contains a few quality of life improvements, bug fixes and light new features.
+More importantly, it fixes the migrations from any older versions so that you are not blocked anymore due to an error 500.
+
+One of the notable change, is that we are now creating `.sigstore.json` files instead of `.asc` files when signing the releases.
+This means that you will need to update your verification process accordingly. Please check out our [Code Signing documentation](https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/blob/master/docs/Code-signing.md).
+
+#### Our most notables changes are as follows
+
+* `fix` #3700 : Fix user group issues by @ildyria.

+* `fix` #3720 : fix user-groups addresses by @ildyria.

+* `fix` #3734 : Fix updating without having the user_groups by @ildyria.
+  > This was a big issue when trying to update the code of Lychee from an older version.
+  > When trying to login, it was looking for a table that was not existing yet, preventing migrations to be run from the web interface.
+* `new` #3718 : Untagged Album: Add private untagged album by @PeterMMM.
+  > This new features adds a new smart albums "Untagged" which displays all photos without tags.
