This is the v0.11.0.0 major release of the Monero software, and it is a mandatory update due to the September 15th hard fork, which in turn increases the minimum ring signature size to 5 across the network, bans duplicate ring members in a ring signature, and enforces use of ringCT for all transaction outputs. This release of the software presents a number of major improvements to Monero, as well as a large set of bug fixes.
The GUI release notes and downloads can be found on the release page here.
Some highlights of this release are:

This is a necessary point release of Monero v0.10 "Wolfram Warptangent", and it is a mandatory update due to the April 15th hard fork, which in turn has been necessitated by the unexpectedly high adoption rate of RingCT transactions necessitating a modification of the dynamic block size limiter algorithm.
In addition, this is the first version that aligns CLI and GUI tags, with the CLI being tagged and released first, and the GUI tagged and released within a few days thereafter. This will mean that some point releases in future may be forced by a need on the GUI side, where the CLI may not have substantial changes, and vice versa.
Since it has only been 30 days since the last release, this is something of a "light" update. Nonetheless, some highlights of this release are:

This is the next major release of Monero. It adds an initial release of RingCT, which is already live on testnet. The RingCT whitepaper can be found here. Note that the v4 hard fork has been moved to the beginning of January, 2017, although the v5 hard fork remains set at September, 2017. This is to enable early availability of RingCT transactions on the Monero network, although they will not be enforced as the only possible transaction type until the v5 hard fork.
One of the largest pieces of work were the BlockchainDB performance improvements. This was largely done by warptangent, an early Monero contributor who passed away in March, 2016. His work was completed by Howard "hyc" Chu, and we have named this release after him. We are deeply grateful for all the effort he put in to making Monero what it is today.
Some highlights of this release are:
Due to the space savings and performance gains it is again highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero.
Alternatively, you can use blockchain_export
from your previous install to export your current blockchain, then delete the lmdb folder in your working directory, and finally use monero-blockchain-import
from 0.10.0 to reimport it.

Too much to describe. Represents a major release in Monero's history, over a year-and-a-half in the making. Some highlights:
In total this represents 922 commits worth of work by 9 contributors. This will probably be the biggest release in Monero's history, everything from here on out can be done as faster point releases.
It is highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero.
Syncing from scratch is EXTREMELY fast in this version, pretty much at bittorrent speeds, and will leave you with a fully verified blockchain.
Alternatively: if you want to grab the bootstrap (NOTE: there is a new bootstrap format!) off the website then you can get it at https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw - once downloaded you can import it with blockchain_import --input-file /path/to/your/download.raw
. If you're particularly brave you can pass the --verify 0
flag to skip verification during import.
If you REALLY want to convert your old blockchain: you can either use the blockchain_converter
tool, or you can use blockchain_export
to create a blockchain.raw, followed by blockchain_import
to import it into the new LMDB format.
