The 2.16 minor series tracks TensorFlow 2.16.
Features
- Time Series dashboard:
- Improved sorting of runs whose names begin with integers. (6664)
- Improved hparams filtering. (6680, 6692)
- Usability improvements and fixes in runs table. (6656, 6658, 6678, 6736)

- Relaxed restriction on protobuf dependency, given that issue protocolbuffers/protobuf13485 was fixed. (6660, 6746)
Bug Fixes
- Hparams plugin:
- Fixed Download data links. (6719 fixes 6088, thanks louis49)
- Time Series dashboard:
- Fixed color picker usability regression. (6682)
- Brings the `tensorboard-data-server` wheel into conformance with [PEP 600](https://peps.python.org/pep-0600/), enabling support for the `--load-fast` flag in systems with GLIBC >= 2.29. (Requires installing/updating package `tensorboard-data-server==0.7.2`) (#6636 fixes 6578)
Breaking Changes
- `tensorboard dev` subcommand will now show an error message without sending any requests, as our hosted service at http://tensorboard.dev has been shut down.
- Not quite a breaking change, but to something to be aware of: TensorBoard releases generally follow TensorFlow’s releases. However, while TF 2.16 will start using Keras 3 by default, TensorBoard plugins’ implementation remains with keras 2 support only. See keras-team/keras18467 for details.
