+
+The Ember project is excited to announce the release of Ember v6.9. This is a standard minor release as part of the [standard Ember Release Train process](https://emberjs.com/releases/). Version 6.8 of Ember.js is now promoted to LTS (Long Term Support). An LTS version of Ember continues to receive security updates for 9 release cycles (54 weeks) and bugfixes for 6 cycles (36 weeks). LTS releases typically occur every four minor versions. The previous LTS version of Ember.js was 6.4.
+
+## Ember.js v6.9
+
+All changes in Ember.js 6.9 were internal, docs, and/or bugfixes that were backported.
+

+
+## Ember CLI v6.9
+
+Ember CLI 6.9 upgrades `broccoli` to `^4.0.0` and as a consequence, the minimum Node version Ember CLI supports is now 20.19. This is in accordance with our [Node Support Policy](https://emberjs.com/node-support/).
+
+We have released a new major of `broccoli` to address security vulnerabilities and deprecations in dependencies of the package. These vulnerabilities should not have been exploitable as `broccoli` should only ever be run in a development environment but this fixes a number of `npm audit` headaches. There is more work to do here in updating our long-tail of dependencies. The major of `broccoli` is otherwise completely API-compatible. We have dropped support for `node` < `20.19` because we need the [`require(esm)`](https://nodejs.org/pt-br/blog/release/v20.19.0) feature that was backported to that version.

+
+## Thank You!
+
+As a community-driven open-source project with an ambitious scope, each of these releases serves as a reminder that the Ember project would not have been possible without your continued support. We are extremely grateful to our contributors for their efforts.
