 Please find the changelog for VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection below.
 
-### v1.16.0
+## v1.16.1
+Released: 2024-10-02
+- FIX: This patch release prevents the service from crashing by rolling back the version of a third-party dependency. Affected releases: [v1.16.0](#v1160).

+## v1.16.0
 Released: 2024-10-01

+> **Note**: A bug was discovered in this release that causes the service to crash. Please use the patch [v1.16.1](#v1161) to resolve this issue.

 - FEATURE: Introduced data dumps to a host filesystem for [VmReader](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/reader#vm-reader).  Resource-intensive setups (multiple queries returning many metrics, bigger `fit_window` arg) will have RAM consumption reduced during fit calls.
 - IMPROVEMENT: Added a `groupby` argument for logical grouping in [multivariate models](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models#multivariate-models). When specified, a separate multivariate model is trained for each unique combination of label values in the `groupby` columns. For example, to perform multivariate anomaly detection on metrics at the machine level without cross-entity interference, you can use `groupby: [host]` or `groupby: [instance]`, ensuring one model per entity being trained (e.g., per host). Please find more details [here](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/#group-by).
 - IMPROVEMENT: Improved performance of [VmReader](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/reader#vm-reader) on multicore instances for reading and data processing.
