+## [Release 6.6](https://rpm-software-management.github.io/mock/Release-Notes-6.6) - 2025-12-08
+
+
+### Changes
+
+- Make sure to install `BuildRequires` that are defined by macros originating
+  from macro files installed through other BuildRequires.  For example:
+
+  ```
+  BuildRequires: selinux-policy
+  %{?selinux_requires}
+  ```
+
+  This now properly tells Mock to install the `selinux-policy-devel` package, as
+  defined by `%selinux_requires`.  See also [issue#1652][].
+
+- The `unbreq` plugin is now active only when an actual build is taking place.
+  It no longer searches for SRPM files during unrelated Mock operations, such as
+  `--init` or `--clean`.
+
+- Mock now automatically maps the target build architecture directly to the
+  appropriate QEMU user-static binary variant for `forcearch` builds.  For
+  example, a build for `riscv64` (for `fedora-43-riscv64` target) is mapped to
+  `/usr/bin/qemu-riscv64-static` (see the architecture string matches).  Mock
+  config contributors no longer need to modify Mock code to add support for new
+  architectures (if these architecture specifiers match).
+

+- Simone Caronni

+Thank You!
