Release 2.16.0$$$This is a bug fix and enhancement release. Look out for new Blog Posts and Videos which will cover some of these new features in much more depth in the coming days and weeks.$$$$$$This release was made possible thanks to Checkmarx who employ 3 of the Core Team to work on ZAP.$$$$$$These release notes do not include all of the changes included in add-ons updated since 2.15.0.$$$$$$Some of the more significant enhancements include:$$$$$$Update to a Minimum of Java 17 $$$ZAP now requires a minimum of Java 17 to run. This allows us to use more modern Java features in the ZAP codebase.$$$$$$As a result of this move scripts which use the Nashorn JavaScript engine may no longer work; this is because the engine is no longer present in Java 17. Any scripts configured to use Nashorn will automatically be changed to use the Graal.js JavaScript engine. However you may still need to migrate these scripts; see the Migration Guide from Nashorn to GraalJS.
