+k6 `v0.56.0` is here 🎉! This release includes:
+
+- We've merged xk6-browser into k6.
+- Many small improvements, bug fixes and internal refactors.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+- [browser#1541](https://github.com/grafana/xk6-browser/pull/1541) Removes `accessibility-events` from a test, which is no longer a valid permission that can be granted by the latest version of Chromium/Chrome.
+- [#4093](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/4093) Unexports `lib/consts.FullVersion` from the k6's Golang API.
+
+## New features
+
+### Merge browser code in k6 codebase [#4056](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/4056)
+
+While the browser module has been stabilized, the codebase was not moved inside of k6.
+
+As part of the stabilization this is now also merged in the k6 codebase. In the following months we would move issues from the [xk6-browser](https://github.com/grafana/xk6-browser) repo and then archive it.
+
+## UX improvements and enhancements

+- [browser#1536](https://github.com/grafana/xk6-browser/pull/1536) Removes `Headless` from the user agent to prevent test traffic from being blocked.

+- [#4093](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/4093) Introduces a `--json` flag to a `k6 version` sub-command, which switches an output to a JSON format.
+- [#4140](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/4140) Tags browser module metrics with a `resource_type` tag which can be one of these values: `"Document"`, `"Stylesheet"`, `"Image"`, `"Media"`, `"Font"`, `"Script"`, `"TextTrack"`, `"XHR"`, `"Fetch"`, `"Prefetch"`, `"EventSource"`, `"WebSocket"`, `"Manifest"`, `"SignedExchange"`, `"Ping"`, `"CSPViolationReport"`, `"Preflight"`, `"Other"`, or `"Unknown"`.
+- [#4092](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/4092) Populates `__ENV.K6_CLOUDRUN_TEST_RUN_ID` with the corresponding value for local executions streaming results to the Cloud: `k6 cloud run --local-execution`.

+## Roadmap
+
+### Removal of deprecated `k6/experimental/browser` module
+
+Since `v0.52.0` we have had a non experimental version of the browser module (`k6/browser`). We urge you to [migrate](https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/using-k6-browser/migrating-to-k6-v0-52/) your scripts over to the non experimental browser module as we will be removing the experimental version of it in the next release (`v0.57.0`).
