+## 0.16.1
+
+Released on 12/11/2024
+
+- Just fixed this: e45c3d5b4ef64653e5b6cc4f3703e3b67514306d
+  - `fix: gg rust 1.82 for introducing a nice breaking change in config which was not mentioned in changelog`
+
+## 0.16.0
+
+Released on 14/10/2024
+
+- [**Multi Host support**](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/285):
+  - Now it is possible to work on two different remotes `remote A -> remote B` instead of just `localhost -> remote`
+  - Cli arguments now accept an additional `remote-args` for the left panel.
+  - For more details read this issue <https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/285>.
+  - Change between auth forms with `<BACKTAB>`
+  - Bookmarks are automatically loaded into the last auth form.
+- [Issue 289](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/289): Use `uzers` instead of the dead package `users` which has several vulnerabilities
+- [Issue 290](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/290): Password prompt was broken
+- [Issue 298](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/298): tuirealm 2.x
+  - Fixed some performance issues where sometimes the app froze for a couple of seconds, thanks to this <https://github.com/veeso/tui-realm/pull/78>.
+- [Issue 292](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/292): New version alert was not displayed due to a semver regex issue.
+- [Issue 291](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/291): Show `..` directory before all the others in the explorer. If you click on it you'll go the parent directory (same as pressing `<U>`). No, you can't select it for transfers and it's actually been implemented in the worse way possible, because this little change would require a huge refactoring of the explorer component. I promise I will do it one day, but I dunno when.
+- Logging: filter out messages not related to termscp or remotefs
