## Volto frontend
Expand All @@ -24,41 +35,36 @@ The default frontend for new Plone 6 sites is Volto.
Note that this is a JavaScript frontend that you need to run in a separate process with NodeJS.

Plone 6.1 is meant to be used with Volto 18.
Latest release is [18.0.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@plone/volto/v/18.0.0). See the [changelog](https://github.com/plone/volto/blob/18.0.0/packages/volto/CHANGELOG.md). You saw that right: this is no longer an alpha release, but a final release!

Or use the latest Volto 17.
Latest release is [18.4.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@plone/volto/v/18.4.0). See the [changelog](https://github.com/plone/volto/blob/18.4.0/packages/volto/CHANGELOG.md).


## Classic UI

The HTML based and server side rendered UI that was present in Plone 5.2 and earlier major Plone releases is still available and has also been updated and improved upon in Plone 6.0 and 6.1. Our documentation now refers to this frontend as 'Classic UI'.


## Docker

In the alpha stage, we did not create any [`plone-backend` Docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/plone/plone-backend), but for the first beta we did. You can now use the `plone/plone-backend:6.1.0b1` image.

## Python compatibility

This release supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12.
This is the first Plone release to support Python 3.13.
This release supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13.

The underlying Zope 5.11 supports Python 3.13, but this Plone release not yet. We should be close though.

## pip, buildout, setuptools

In Plone core we use these versions to install Plone:

```
pip==24.2
setuptools==75.2.0
wheel==0.44.0
pip==24.3.1
setuptools==75.6.0
wheel==0.45.1
zc.buildout==3.3
```

In general you are free to use whatever versions work for you, but these worked for us.

Note that there is also a [`zc.buildout` 4.0.0a1](https://pypi.org/project/zc.buildout/4.0.0a1/) release that you could try.


## Installation

For installation instructions, see the [documentation](https://6.docs.plone.org/install/index.html).
