 # Release notes
 
+## Version 0.5.16 (2025-08-14)
+
+### Enhancement
+
+* Enable reading model results from files by enabling `model::String` being the directory to the saved files instead of `model::JuMP.Model`. Note that the files can be generated by `EnergyModelsGUI.save_results(model::JuMP.model)`.
+* Enhance the descriptive names for nodes having dictionaries with keys of type Resource as in the `MultipleBuildingTypes`-node in `EnergyModelsLanguageInterfaces.jl`.
+* Enhance visualization of plots over OperationalPeriods having a constant non-zero value.
+
+### Adjustment
+
+* Move functions from generating cases from the example files to a single file to enable testing without requiring rerunning the cases.
+
+## Version 0.5.15 (2025-08-07)
+
+### Bugfix
+
+* Fix bug from breaking changes in GLMakie v0.10 on Windows.
+
 ## Version 0.5.14 (2025-06-25)
 
 ### Bugfix
