+# 1.6.0
+
+Welcome to the 1.6.0 release of apisix-ingress-controller!
+
+This is a feature release.
+
+## Highlights
+
+The API version of all custom resources has been upgraded to v2 in v1.5 release. In 1.6 we removed the v2beta2 API. Please go to [#707](https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller/issues/707) for detail.
+
+In this version we added more Gateway API support. e.g. TCPRoute/UDPRoute/HTTPRouteFilter etc.
+
+From this version, we can proxy external services and external name services. And integrated with the service discovery component.
+
+Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
+https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller/issues.
