 # Changelog
 
+## 16.0.0
+
+### Major Changes
+
+- **all**: Simplifying our package names from `@baloise/design-system-*` to `@baloise/ds-*` ( [#1344](https://github.com/baloise/design-system/pull/1344))
+
+  Please check out the more detailed [Upgrade Guide to v16](https://design.baloise.dev/?path=/docs/development-upgrade-guides-updating-to-v16--documentation).
+
+  | Old Package Name                                       |       | New Package Name             |
+  | :----------------------------------------------------- | :---: | :--------------------------- |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components`                    | **→** | `@baloise/ds-core`           |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components-angular`            | **→** | `@baloise/ds-angular-module` |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components-angular/standalone` | **→** | `@baloise/ds-angular`        |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components-angular/legacy`     | **→** | `@baloise/ds-angular-legacy` |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components-react`              | **→** | `@baloise/ds-react`          |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components-vue`                | **→** | `@baloise/ds-vue`            |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-components-table`              | **→** | `@baloise/ds-table`          |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-cli`                           | **→** | `@baloise/ds-devkit`         |
+  | `@baloise/design-system-\*`                            | **→** | `@baloise/ds-\*`             |
+
+- **css**: The CSS package is marked as deprecated. Upgrade to `@baloise/ds-styles`. ( [#1344](https://github.com/baloise/design-system/pull/1344))
+
+  Please check out the more detailed [Upgrade Guide to v16](https://design.baloise.dev/?path=/docs/development-upgrade-guides-updating-to-v16--documentation#standardizing-design-tokens).
+
+- **button**: properties `topRounded` and `bottomRounded` has been removed, due to not match the design criteria. ( [#1344](https://github.com/baloise/design-system/pull/1344))
+
+- **navigation**: has been removed and replaced with `bal-nav` to improve performance and SEO. ( [#1344](https://github.com/baloise/design-system/pull/1344))
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- **styles**: standardize the design tokens, facilitating their export to platforms such as Figma and others. With the introduction of these new design tokens, we can automatically generate CSS utility classes. ( [#1344](https://github.com/baloise/design-system/pull/1344))
+
+  Please check out the more detailed [Upgrade Guide to v16](https://design.baloise.dev/?path=/docs/development-upgrade-guides-updating-to-v16--documentation#standardizing-design-tokens).
