A full Sling release is long overdue with the last full release Sling 5 dating back to May 2009. A number of bundles have been released independently in the mean time and much work has again been done around the core Sling API.
Taken from the current definition of what's part of a full Sling build found in the bundle list in the Launchpad Builder project here is a list of bundles currently (Revision 980813) referenced in the list and whether an upgrade to a more recent version is desired for Sling 6.
