# Announcing GoReleaser v1.16 — the late February release
The February release got a little late... _better later than even later, I guess!_ 😄

![goreleaser healthcheck](https://carlosbecker.com/posts/goreleaser-v1.16/img.png)
It is packed with some juicy features and tons of bug fixes and quality-of-life
improvements.
Let's take a look:
### Highlights
- On GoReleaser Pro you can now add dividers between groups in the changelog.
[Documentation](https://goreleaser.com/customization/changelog/).
- GoReleaser Pro also gets a new template variable: `{{ .Artifacts }}`, which
you can iterate over to build, for instance, custom scripts. Oh, how can you
build custom scripts? I'm glad you asked!
[Documentation](https://goreleaser.com/customization/templates/#artifacts).
- Concluding our Pro-exclusive feature-set for this release: template files! You
can template entire files, and they'll get added to the release!
[Documentation](https://goreleaser.com/customization/templatefiles/).
- All GoReleaser distributions get a new subcommand: `healthcheck`.
[Documentation](https://goreleaser.com/cmd/goreleaser_healthcheck/).
- The single `build` statement has been undocumented for many years, and has
been deprecated.
- You can now announce to OpenCollective.
[Documentation](https://goreleaser.com/customization/announce/opencollective/).
- Templating updates: `nfpms` get `{{ .ConventionalExtension }}`, new
templateable fields, `base` (as in `filepath.Base`) template function, and
more.
- When running on a new project, with no `project_name` set, and no git remotes,
GoReleaser will now try to infer the project name from the `go.mod` file
instead of erroring.
- GoReleaser is now built with Go 1.20.
- As always, a lot of bug fixes, dependency updates and improvements!
You can [install][] the same way you always do, and you can see the full release
