+## [Talos 1.6.0-alpha.1](https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/tag/v1.6.0-alpha.1) (2023-10-17)
+
+Welcome to the v1.6.0-alpha.1 release of Talos!  
+*This is a pre-release of Talos*
+
+
+
+Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
+https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues.
+
+### Network Device Selectors
+
+Previously, [network device selectors](https://www.talos.dev/v1.6/talos-guides/network/device-selector/) only matched the first link, now the configuration is applied to all matching links.
+
+
+### Linux Firmware
+
+Starting with Talos 1.6, there is no Linux firmware included in the initramfs.
+Customers who need Linux firmware can pull them as extension during install time using the image factory service.
+If the initial boot requires firmware, a custom iso can be built with the firmware included using the image factory service.
+This also ensures that the linux-firmware is not tied to a specific Talos version.
+
+
+### KubePrism
+
+[KubePrism](https://www.talos.dev/v1.6/kubernetes-guides/configuration/kubeprism/) is enabled by default on port 7445.
+
+
+### talosctl CLI
+
+The command `images` deprecated in Talos 1.5 was removed, please use `talosctl images default` instead.
+
+
+### Component Updates
+
+Linux: 6.1.58
+containerd: 1.7.7
+CoreDNS: 1.11.1
+Kubernetes: 1.29.0-alpha.2
+Flannel: 0.22.3
+
+Talos is built with Go 1.21.3.
