+# napari 0.6.4
+⚠️ *Note: these release notes are still in draft while 0.6.4 is in release candidate testing.* ⚠️
+
+*Tue, Aug 12, 2025*
+
+We’re happy to announce the release of napari 0.6.4!
+
+napari is a fast, interactive, multi-dimensional image viewer for Python. It’s designed for exploring, annotating, and analyzing multi-dimensional images. It’s built on Qt (for the GUI), VisPy (for performant GPU-based rendering), and the scientific Python stack (NumPy, SciPy, and friends).
+
+For more information, examples, and documentation, please visit our website: https://napari.org/
+
+## Highlights
+
+### Run scripts with napari from the command line
+
+As a follow-up to the ability to drag-n-drop scripts into the napari window from 0.6.3, you can now run scripts directly from the command line using the `napari` command and the path to the script ([#8185](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/8185) and [#8187](https://github.com/napari/napari/pull/8187)). For example `napari examples/magic_immage_arithmetic.py` will open napari and run the local script.
