 These release notes do not include all of the changes included in add-ons updated since 2.16.0.
 <p>
 
+The enhancements include:
+
+<H3>Use Main Output Tab for Scripts</H3>
+
+The Script Console no longer includes its own "Script Output" panel.
+Instead it uses the main <a href="../ui/tabs/output.html">Output</a> tab.
+
+<H3>Support Sub-tabs in Output Tab</H3>
+
+The <a href="../ui/tabs/output.html">Output</a> tab now supports sub-tabs.
+The Script Console add-on will add one tab for each script that generates any output, making it much easier to see where output messages come from.
+
+<h3>API Support for Plugable Authentication and Session Management</h3>
+
+The API now supports plugable Authentication and Session Management methods, which means you can configure modern
+options like Browser Based Authentication.
+
+<h3>Authentication Enhancements</h3>
+
+Many enhancements have been made to ensure ZAP handles authentication more easily and effectively,
+including support for TOTP.
+
+<h3>Windows Native Decorations Support</h3>
+
+ZAP now supports Native Decorations on Windows systems, providing a more unified and visually pleasing experience.
