**Release Version**: 1.6.0

**Release Date**: 20th May, 2026 - Coming Soon

## Overview

We are pleased to announce **API Test Commons v1.6.0**, a feature enhancement and stabilization release focused on improving authentication handling, DSL observability, configuration maintainability, and API test infrastructure reliability within the MOSIP Functional Test Framework.

This release introduces authorization policy configuration standardization, enhanced DSL request/response logging, improved eSignet health-check configurability, partner device authentication support, and multiple infrastructure-level refactors to improve maintainability and execution stability.
