+## [1.6.0]
+
+### Upgrade Notice
+
+This update includes several major changes to istio. Kiali and Jaeger are now separated into their own repos, helmreleases, and namespaces.
+
+A manual cleanup task is required to delete the previous Kiali and Jaeger deployments post upgrade:
+```bash
+kubectl delete deploy -n istio-system -l app=kiali
+kubectl delete deploy -n istio-system -l app=jaeger
+```
+
+### Known Issues
+
+This update includes an update to the Anchore chart. There is a [known issue](https://github.com/anchore/anchore-engine/issues/882) with running this version (and some previous versions) on FIPS enabled nodes. All Anchore services continue to function properly on non-FIPS nodes. Once an upstream fix is pushed, we will update the BB version accordingly.
+
+Anchore's default resource requests/limits (specifically for memory for the RBAC Manager) may be problematic depending on the customer and usage. Currently Big Bang consumes the defaults from the upstream chart, but Anchore also provides a list of [requirements](https://docs.anchore.com/current/docs/overview/requirements/) that address best practices for configuration for production workloads. These recommendations can be used as BB value overrides to specify resource limits and requests (example: [RBAC Manager](https://repo1.dso.mil/platform-one/big-bang/apps/security-tools/anchore-enterprise/-/blob/main/chart/values.yaml#L868)).
