| 6 | +==== Deprecation notices |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +* *Direct index access for connectors and sync jobs* |
| 9 | ++ |
| 10 | +IMPORTANT: Directly accessing connector and sync job state through `.elastic-connectors*` indices is deprecated, and will be disallowed entirely in a future release. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +* Instead, the Elasticsearch Connector APIs should be used. Connectors framework code now uses the <<connector-apis,Connector APIs>> by default. |
| 13 | +See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2884[*PR 2902*]. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +* *Docker `enterprise-search` namespace deprecation* |
| 16 | ++ |
| 17 | +IMPORTANT: The `enterprise-search` Docker namespace is deprecated and will be discontinued in a future release. |
| 18 | ++ |
| 19 | +Starting in `8.16.0`, Docker images are being transitioned to the new `integrations` namespace, which will become the sole location for future releases. This affects the https://github.com/elastic/connectors[Elastic Connectors] and https://github.com/elastic/data-extraction-service[Elastic Data Extraction Service]. |
| 20 | ++ |
| 21 | +During this transition period, images are published to both namespaces: |
| 22 | ++ |
| 23 | +** *Example*: |
| 24 | ++ |
| 25 | +Deprecated namespace:: |
| 26 | +`docker.elastic.co/enterprise-search/elastic-connectors:v8.16.0` |
| 27 | ++ |
| 28 | +New namespace:: |
| 29 | +`docker.elastic.co/integrations/elastic-connectors:v8.16.0` |
| 30 | ++ |
| 31 | +Users should migrate to the new `integrations` namespace as soon as possible to ensure continued access to future releases. |

| 34 | +[[es-connectors-release-notes-8-16-0-enhancements]] |
| 35 | +==== Enhancements |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* Docker images now use Chainguard's Wolfi base image (`docker.elastic.co/wolfi/jdk:openjdk-11-dev`), replacing the previous `ubuntu:focal` base. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +* The Sharepoint Online connector now works with the `Sites.Selected` permission instead of the broader permission `Sites.Read.All`. |
| 40 | +See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2762[*PR 2762*]. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +* Starting in 8.16.0, connectors will start using proper SEMVER, with `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, which aligns with Elasticsearch/Kibana versions. This drops the previous `.BUILD` suffix, which we used to release connectors between Elastic stack releases. Going forward, these inter-stack-release releases will be suffixed instead with `+<timestamp>`, aligning with Elastic Agent and conforming to SEMVER. |
| 43 | +See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2749[*PR 2749*]. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +* Connector logs now use UTC timestamps, instead of machine-local timestamps. This only impacts logging output. |
| 46 | +See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2695[*PR 2695*]. |

| 50 | +==== Bug fixes |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +* The Dropbox connector now fetches the files from team shared folders. |
| 53 | +See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2718[*PR 2718*]. |
