+# Mathesar 0.1.6
+
+## Summary
+
+Mathesar 0.1.6 introduces Japanese localization of the UI and adds better support for working with long text in individual record pages. Improvements for administrators include compatibility with Python 3.10 and 3.11, support for databases running PostgreSQL 16, and the removal of `npm` and `nodejs` as dependencies when installing from scratch. 
+
+_This page provides a comprehensive list of all changes in the release._
+
+## Upgrading to 0.1.6
+
+See our guide on [upgrading Mathesar to 0.1.6](../administration/upgrade/0.1.6.md).
+
+## Improvements
+
+### You can now configure Mathesar's UI to display in Japanese
+
+The language setting is stored per-user and can be modified when logging in or when editing a user. This changes the text displayed on buttons and other UI elements within Mathesar. It does not change the display of data within your database (e.g. table names, column names, and cell values). We are hoping to support more languages beyond English and Japanese eventually. Please reach out to us if your are interested in helping to add more translations!
