[[es-connectors-release-notes-8-16-1-bug-fixes]]
==== Bug fixes
* Fixed a bug in the Outlook Connector where having deactivated users could cause the sync to fail.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2967[*PR 2967*].
* Fixed a bug where the Confluence connector was not downloading some blog post documents due to unexpected response format.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2984[*PR 2984*].

[[es-connectors-release-notes-deprecation-notice]]
==== Deprecation notices
* *Direct index access for connectors and sync jobs*
+
IMPORTANT: Directly accessing connector and sync job state through `.elastic-connectors*` indices is deprecated, and will be disallowed entirely in a future release.
* Instead, the Elasticsearch Connector APIs should be used. Connectors framework code now uses the <<connector-apis,Connector APIs>> by default.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2884[*PR 2902*].
* *Docker `enterprise-search` namespace deprecation*
+
IMPORTANT: The `enterprise-search` Docker namespace is deprecated and will be discontinued in a future release.
+
Starting in `8.16.0`, Docker images are being transitioned to the new `integrations` namespace, which will become the sole location for future releases. This affects the https://github.com/elastic/connectors[Elastic Connectors] and https://github.com/elastic/data-extraction-service[Elastic Data Extraction Service].
+
During this transition period, images are published to both namespaces:
+
** *Example*:
+
Deprecated namespace::
`docker.elastic.co/enterprise-search/elastic-connectors:v8.16.0`
+
New namespace::
`docker.elastic.co/integrations/elastic-connectors:v8.16.0`
+
Users should migrate to the new `integrations` namespace as soon as possible to ensure continued access to future releases.

[[es-connectors-release-notes-8-16-0-enhancements]]
==== Enhancements
* Docker images now use Chainguard's Wolfi base image (`docker.elastic.co/wolfi/jdk:openjdk-11-dev`), replacing the previous `ubuntu:focal` base.
* The Sharepoint Online connector now works with the `Sites.Selected` permission instead of the broader permission `Sites.Read.All`.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2762[*PR 2762*].
* Starting in 8.16.0, connectors will start using proper SEMVER, with `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, which aligns with Elasticsearch/Kibana versions. This drops the previous `.BUILD` suffix, which we used to release connectors between Elastic stack releases. Going forward, these inter-stack-release releases will be suffixed instead with `+<timestamp>`, aligning with Elastic Agent and conforming to SEMVER.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2749[*PR 2749*].
* Connector logs now use UTC timestamps, instead of machine-local timestamps. This only impacts logging output.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2695[*PR 2695*].

[[es-connectors-release-notes-8-16-0-bug-fixes]]
==== Bug fixes
* The Dropbox connector now fetches the files from team shared folders.
See https://github.com/elastic/connectors/pull/2718[*PR 2718*].
