 BrowserMob Proxy allows you to manipulate HTTP requests and responses, capture HTTP content, and export performance data as a [HAR file](http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/har-12-spec/).
 BMP works well as a standalone proxy server, but it is especially useful when embedded in Selenium tests.
 
-The latest version of BrowserMob Proxy is 2.1.5, powered by [LittleProxy](https://github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy).
+The latest version of BrowserMob Proxy is 2.1.6, powered by [LittleProxy](https://github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy).
 
 If you're running BrowserMob Proxy within a Java application or Selenium test, get started with [Embedded Mode](#getting-started-embedded-mode). If you want to run BMP from the
 command line as a standalone proxy, start with [Standalone](#getting-started-standalone).
