The main theme of this release is Taproot, specifically sending to Bech32m/P2TR addresses! There are also lots of smaller enhancements like support for addrv2 messages (including v3 onion services), feefilter messages and satoshi denomination support in MonetaryFormat.
Some outdated features have been removed, like the old micropayment channels and alert messages.
For a thorough list of changes, have a look at the release notes [1] and the git log [2]. The v0.16 release tag is signed with my's GPG key [3]. The pre-builtjars can be fetched from Maven central [4,5]. Those artifacts are signed with my key as well.
Thanks go to Bloq for sponsoring my work, GitHub for hosting our git repository and issue management and to both GitHub and GitLab for running continuous integration on every commit and PR.
