Today we have released [2.16.1 beta](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/releases/tag/2.16.1-beta) which includes 49 bug-fixes.

As always, we recommend that you install this update in a development environment and test thoroughly. We also recommend that you perform this update [using the command line where possible](https://docs.mautic.org/en/setup/updating-at-command-line), especially on shared hosting or where there are a lot of leads to process, which can result in a timeout with the browser update.
