+
+As mentioned in previous blog posts, we encourage all our users to upgrade to Quarkus 3.
+However we understand the migration can require some time so we will continue to maintain 2.16.x for a while.
+Today, we released Quarkus 2.16.8.Final, the eighth maintenance release of our 2.16 release train.
+
+As usual, it contains bugfixes and documentation improvements,
+most notably the upgrade to Netty 4.1.94.Final, which fixes a CVE.
+
+It should be a safe upgrade for anyone already using 2.16.
+
+If you are not already using 2.16, please refer to https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/wiki/Migration-Guide-2.16[our migration guide].
+
