 # Confluent's Python client for Apache Kafka
 
+## v1.6.0
+
+v1.6.0 is a feature release with the following features, fixes and enhancements:
+
+ - Bundles librdkafka v1.6.0 which adds support for Incremental rebalancing,
+   Sticky producer partitioning, Transactional producer scalabilty improvements,
+   and much much more. See link to release notes below.
+ - Rename asyncio.py example to avoid circular import (#945)
+ - The Linux wheels are now built with manylinux2010 (rather than manylinux1)
+   since OpenSSL v1.1.1 no longer builds on CentOS 5. Older Linux distros may
+   thus no longer be supported, such as CentOS 5.
+ - The in-wheel OpenSSL version has been updated to 1.1.1i.
+ - Added `Message.latency()` to retrieve the per-message produce latency.
+ - Added trove classifiers.
+ - Consumer destructor will no longer trigger consumer_close(),
+   `consumer.close()` must now be explicitly called if the application
+   wants to leave the consumer group properly and commit final offsets.
+ - Fix `PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN` warning
+ - Move confluent_kafka/ to src/ to avoid pytest/tox picking up the local dir
+ - Added `producer.purge()` to purge messages in-queue/flight (@peteryin21, #548)
+ - Added `AdminClient.list_groups()` API (@messense, #948)
+ - Rename asyncio.py example to avoid circular import (#945)
+
+confluent-kafka-python is based on librdkafka v1.6.2, see the
+[librdkafka release notes](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/releases/tag/v1.6.0)
+for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
