+ZAP 2.16.1 has just been [released](/docs/desktop/releases/2.16.1/)!
+
+This release was made possible thanks to [Checkmarx](https://checkmarx.com/) 
+who employ 3 of the [Core Team](/docs/team/) to work fulltime on ZAP 🎉
+
+This is a bug fix release, along with some minor enhancements:
+
+### Use Main Output Tab for Scripts
+
+The [Script Console](/docs/desktop/addons/script-console/) no longer includes its own "Script Output" panel.
+Instead it uses the main [Output](/docs/desktop/ui/tabs/output/) tab.
+
+### Support Sub-tabs in Output Tab
+
+The [Output](/docs/desktop/ui/tabs/output/) tab now supports sub-tabs.
+The Scripts add-on will add one tab for each script that generates any output, making it much easier to see where output messages come from.
+
+### API Support for Plugable Authentication and Session Management
+
+The API now supports plugable Authentication and Session Management methods, which means you can configure modern
+options like [Browser Based Authentication](/docs/desktop/addons/authentication-helper/browser-auth/).
+
+### Authentication Enhancements
+
+Many enhancements have been made to ensure ZAP handles authentication more easily and effectively,
+including support for TOTP.
+
+### Windows Native Decorations Support
+
+ZAP now supports Native Decorations on Windows systems, providing a more unified and visually pleasing experience.
+
+### AJAX Spider URL Count
+
+The [AJAX Spider](/docs/desktop/addons/ajax-spider/) no longer counts URLs that are out of scope. This may affect any tests you have in place.
+
+### Release Notes
+
+See the [release notes](/docs/desktop/releases/2.16.1/) for dependency updates, other enhancements, and fixes.  
+  
+Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release.

 Just remember to change the month, and maybe the year :wink:
