+* 🚀 Mar 23, 2026: Release MS-Agent v1.6.0, which includes the following updates:
+  - **Context Compression**: Added context compression mechanism with token usage monitoring, overflow detection, and automatic context compaction via pruning historical tool outputs and LLM-based summarization.
+  - **Agentic Insight v2 Enhancements**: Major architecture and performance improvements to the deep research system; achieves **55.43** on DeepResearch Bench with GPT5 and Qwen3.5-plus/flash. See [Agentic Insight v2](https://github.com/modelscope/ms-agent/tree/main/projects/deep_research/v2).
+  - **Knowledge Search**: Integrated Sirchmunk for intelligent retrieval over local codebases and documentation during agent conversations. See [Config Docs](docs/en/Components/Config.md).
+  - **Multimodal Model Input**: Support image, video, and other multimodal inputs. See [Multimodal Docs](docs/zh/Components/multimodal-support.md).
