Can you update the PR information to be accurate for the testing versions and content?

Please add updates to the README.md:

• Update the test versions to indicate we're testing against the versions we're testing against
• Update Collection has been tested against 2.16+
• Update the roadmap to remove "Planned" from 6.0.0 and change "Prospective" to "Planned" for 7.0.0
• Should we point News and Announcements somewhere else other than the forum? There have been only two posts there in the last year (and a big gap before then) and not much technical?
