Pomerium is [announcing the v0.16 release](https://www.pomerium.com/blog/announcing-pomerium-v0-16/?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16)! This is a big release, and includes several new features:

- [Kubernetes Ingress Controller](https://github.com/pomerium/ingress-controller?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16): You can now dynamically provision routes from Ingress resources and set policy [based on annotations for Kubernetes workflows](https://www.pomerium.com/docs/k8s/ingress.html?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16).

- [Desktop App](https://github.com/pomerium/desktop-client/releases/tag/v0.16.0?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16): Power users that need TCP-based services now have an easy-to-use VPN alternative. We’ve created a desktop application to support secure access to non-web traffic protocols such as RDP, SSH, MySQL, Postgres, REDIS, and more!

- [Device Identity](https://www.pomerium.com/docs/topics/device-identity.html?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16): One of the core tenants of zero trust is to leverage device identity into policy decisions. Pomerium uses the open standard [WebAuthn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16) to bring device-aware policy evaluation into access decisions.

- [Pomerium Policy Language](https://www.pomerium.com/docs/topics/ppl.html?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16#pomerium-policy-language) (PPL): You can now use a YAML-based notation for creating simple yet flexible authorization policies. It’s now possible to express policy for contextual factors like time-of-day, groups, users, device identity as well as details about the incoming request.

This release also includes other new features, general improvements, and bug fixes. A complete list can be found in the [announcement post](https://www.pomerium.com/blog/announcing-pomerium-v0-16/?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=discuss&utm_campaign=announcement_v0.16).
