The nearest I can find to a statement is the FAQ: https://www.digiater.nl/openvms/freeware/v70/vmsfaq/vmsfaq_012.html.

I can't find a V6.0 SPD/New features/Release Notes anywhere (either on the web or here). The last time I looked they were still up at HP but right now I can't find them. I'm sure they're somwhere in archive.org but without even a dead link to follow, I'm not able to get any further. Oh well.
