# What happend to Scala 3.6.0 and 3.6.1?
12+
13+
During the release of 3.6.0-RC1, an accident caused the publishing of artefacts versioned as 3.6.0 to the immutable Maven repository.
14+
To mitigate possible damage we've released a hotfix release 3.6.1 to prevent automatic tooling from using a broken version of the compiler.
15+
Versions 3.6.0 (a broken release) and 3.6.1 (a hotfix release) should never be used.
16+
The incident was described in detail at [Scala 3.6.0 Post Mortem blogpost](https://www.scala-lang.org/news/post-mortem-3.6.0.html).
17+
18+
Scala 3.6.2 should effectively be regarded as "3.6.0" for all intents and purposes.
19+
We apologize to the Scala users for any inconvenience it might have caused.

Besides multiple bugfixes, this release stabilises multiple experimental features introduced to Scala language after careful review and acceptance by the [Scala Improvement Proposal's Commitee](https://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/). Many of these changes can have a significant impact on the Scala syntax and are introducing new amazing possibilities in writing concise, typesafe as well as easier, and easier to maintain code.
