+Carbon release marks the sixth release of YANG Tools components. We have fixed `56 <https://bugs.opendaylight.org/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=blocker&bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=normal&bug_severity=minor&bug_severity=trivial&bug_severity=enhancement&columnlist=product%2Ccomponent%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_severity%2Ccf_issue_type%2Cshort_desc%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cdeadline%2Ccf_target_milestone&component=General&f1=cf_target_milestone&known_name=Carbon%3A%20Yangtools&list_id=78630&o1=substring&order=bug_id&product=yangtools&query_based_on=Carbon%3A%20Yangtools&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&v1=Carbon>`_ issues ranging from small annoyances to major reworks.
+
+New major features delivered in this release are
+
+* Introduction of YANG 1.1 (`RFC 7950 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7950>`_)
+ support in YANG parser
