8.16.0 release notes

Upgrading to Enterprise Search 8.16.0? See Upgrading and migrating.

Docker namespaces

Starting in 8.16.0, two of our published Docker images and release artifacts now also live under a new namespace: integrations, in addition to the existing enterprise-search namespace. This concerns the Elastic Connectors and the Elastic Data Extraction Service.

Please note that we recommend using the new integrations namespace, as we are consolidating integration Docker images there. We encourage users to adopt the new namespace as soon as possible.
- Example:
  
  Old namespace
  
  docker.elastic.co/enterprise-search/elastic-connectors:v8.16.0
  
  New namespace
  
  docker.elastic.co/integrations/elastic-connectors:v8.16.0
Docker base images

Docker images now use Chainguard’s Wolfi base image (docker.elastic.co/wolfi/jdk:openjdk-11-dev), replacing the previous ubuntu:focal base.
