+description: Backstage Release v1.16.0
+---
+
+These are the release notes for the v1.16.0 release of [Backstage](https://backstage.io/).
+
+A huge thanks to the whole team of maintainers and contributors as well as the amazing Backstage Community for their hard work in getting this release developed and done. A little smaller release this time with the Summer Holidays, hope you’re all having some deserved time off also!
+
+## Highlights
+
+### Continued support for Material-UI V5
+
+There have been some more tweaks here or there to types and the theme system to ensure a smooth future migration toward Material-UI version 5. This should be mostly transparent to adopters, but please let us know if you encounter any oddities around the theme system after upgrading to this release.
+
+### More plugins support the new Backend System
+
+There’s been some more plugins that have been ported across to using the new [Backend System](https://backstage.io/docs/backend-system/). They are as follows:

+
+### **BREAKING**: `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-incremental-ingestion`
+
+Incremental event handlers are now async by default, and their response shape has been changed to allow further extension.
+
+Instead of returning `null` or `undefined` from an event handler to indicate no-oop, instead return the value `{ type: "ignored" }`.

+
+### **BREAKING**: `@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-confluence-to-markdown`
