+# Fluentd v1.16.7 has been released
+
+Hi users!
+
+We have released v1.16.7 on 2025-01-29.
+ChangeLog is [here](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/blob/v1.16/CHANGELOG.md#release-v1167---20250129).
+
+This release is a maintenance release of v1.16 series.
+In this release, some bugs which are related on Windows were fixed with backporting from v1.18.x.
+
+This release will be bundled for upcoming `fluent-package` LTS version v5.0.6!
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+### Windows: Fix NoMethodError of --daemon option
+
+In this release, we have fixed a bug that it will fail when `--daemon` option is used on Windows.
+
+It was a regression bug since v1.16.0 on Windows, but usually running as a service is recommended way on Windows,
+so most of Fluentd users were not affected.
+
+### Windows: Fixed the issues which are related to start/stop Fluentd service
+
+In this release, we have fixed the following bugs which are
+related to start/stop the Fluentd service.
+
+* Fixed an issue when stopping the service immediately after startup could leave the processes
+* Fixed an issue where stopping service sometimes can not be completed forever
+
+These bug were caused because stop event was not handled correctly in the previous releases.
+
+Typically, this bug will happen if you stop the Fluentd service immediately after startup.
+Then it could leave the processes or stopping service sometimes can not be completed forever.
+
+## Misc news
+
+We also enforcing stabilizing CI of Fluentd.
+It has nothing to do with Fluentd's functionality directly, but it is very important to provide stable version of Fluentd continuously.
+
+Not only [Windows: Add workaround for unexpected exception #4747](https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/4747),
+many CI improvements was merged into master, then backported to v1.16 branch, too.
+
+Enjoy logging!
