+# Version 24.6
+
+.. toc::
+
+
+## Introduction
+
+This is the first release of the version 24 [release cycle](../../organization/policies.md#release-schedule).  The release cadence for v24 may be slightly altered from years past. Make sure to stay up to date in the Discord server for latest updates. If you run into any issues, please raise a concern on [GitHub](https://github.com/sanic-org/sanic/issues/new/choose).
+
+## What to know
+
+More details in the [Changelog](../changelog.html). Notable new or breaking features, and what to upgrade:
+
+### Logging improvements
+
+The default logging patterns have been cleaned up to make them much more developer-friendly when viewing from a terminal session. This includes the use of color and less verbose formatting.
+
+Sanic will select between two slight variations depending upon whether your server is in DEBUG mode. You can always opt to remove colors by using:
+
+```python
+app.config.NO_COLOR = True
+```
+
+The color will automatically be stripped out from logs not in TTY terminal.
+
+Sanic will switch between the DEBUG and PROD formatters automatically using `sanic.logging.formatter.AutoFormatter` and `sanic.logging.formatter.AutoAccessFormatter`. Of course, you can force one version or the other using the appropriately named formatters
+
+#### In DEBUG mode
+
+```python
+sanic.logging.formatter.DebugFormatter
+sanic.logging.formatter.DebugAccessFormatter
+```
+
+![](/assets/images/logging-dev.png)
+
+#### In PROD mode
+
+
+```python
+sanic.logging.formatter.ProdFormatter
+sanic.logging.formatter.ProdAccessFormatter
+```
+
+![](/assets/images/logging-prod.png)
+
+#### Legacy
+
+If you prefer the old-style of logging, these have been preserved for you as logging formatters: `sanic.logging.formatter.LegacyFormatter` and `sanic.logging.formatter.LegacyAccessFormatter`.
+
+One way to implement these formatters:
+
+```python
+from sanic.log import LOGGING_CONFIG_DEFAULTS
+
+LOGGING_CONFIG_DEFAULTS["formatters"] = {
+    "generic": {
+        "class": "sanic.logging.formatter.LegacyFormatter"
+    },
+    "access": {
+        "class": "sanic.logging.formatter.LegacyAccessFormatter"
+    },
+}
+```
+
+#### New JSON formatter
+
+There also is a new JSON log formatter that will output the logs in JSON format for integration with other third part logging platforms.
+
+
+```python
+from sanic.log import LOGGING_CONFIG_DEFAULTS
+
+LOGGING_CONFIG_DEFAULTS["formatters"] = {
+    "generic": {
+        "class": "sanic.logging.formatter.JSONFormatter"
+    },
+    "access": {
+        "class": "sanic.logging.formatter.JSONAccessFormatter"
+    },
+}
+```
+
+### Using Paths in unix sockets
+
+When creating a unix socket for your server, you can now perform that by passing a `pathlib.Path` object instead of just a string-based path
+
+### Custom route names
+
+You can override the `generate_name` method on either a custom `Sanic` or a `Blueprint`. This will allow you to modify the route names at will.
+
+```python
+from sanic import Sanic, text,
+
+class Custom(Sanic):
+    def generate_name(self, *objects):
+        existing = self._generate_name(*objects)
+        return existing.upper()
+        
+app = Sanic("Foo")
+
+@app.get("/")
+async def handler(request):
+    return text(request.name)  # FOO.HANDLER
+
+    
+return app
+```
+
+### 🚨 BREAKING CHANGES
+
+1. `Request.cookies.getlist` always returns a `list`. This means when no cookie of `key` exists, it will be an empty `list` instead of `None`. Use `Request.cookies.getlist("something", None)` to retain existing behavior.
