+title: "Apache Camel 4.16 What's New"
+date: 2025-11-05
+draft: false
+authors: [ davsclaus]
+categories: [ "Releases" ]
+preview: "Details of what we have done in the Camel 4.16 release."
+---
+
+Apache Camel 4.16 has just been [released](/blog/2025/11/RELEASE-4.16.0/).
+
+This release introduces a set of new features and noticeable improvements that we will cover in this blog post.
+
+## Camel Core
+
+## Camel JBang
+
+## Camel Spring Boot
+
+`camel-spring-boot` is upgraded to the latest Spring Boot 3.5.7 release.
+
+Camel now works again with JDK17 on Spring Boot (was not working in previous 4.15 release).
+
+## Java 25
+
+We continue to prepare the code-base for the upcoming Java 25 release. However, this release does
+not officially support Java 25, but we are not aware of any issues (feedback is welcome).
+We will work on official Java 25 support in the following releases.
+
+There are some 3rd-party libraries that are not yet Java 25 compatible, and we are waiting for those
+to release compatible versions.
+
+## Miscellaneous
+
+Upgraded many third-party dependencies to the latest releases at the time of release.
+
+## New Components
+
+- `camel-ibm-cos` - Store and retrieve objects from IBM Cloud Object Storage.
+- `camel-ibm-watson-discovery` - Perform document understanding and search using IBM Watson Discovery
+- `camel-ibm-watson-language` - Perform natural language processing using IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding
+- `camel-pqc` - Encrypt and decrypt messages using Post-Quantum Cryptography Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEM).
+
+## Upgrading
+
+Make sure to read the [upgrade guide](/manual/camel-4x-upgrade-guide-4_15.html) if you are upgrading from a previous
+Camel version.
+
+If you are upgrading from, for example, 4.4 to 4.8, then make sure to follow the upgrade guides for each release
+in-between, i.e.
+4.4 -> 4.5, 4.5 -> 4.6, and so forth.
+
+The Camel Upgrade Recipes tool can also be used to automate upgrading.
+See more at: https://github.com/apache/camel-upgrade-recipes
