 # Unreleased
 * [changed] Added new exception type for quota exceeded scenarios.
 * [feature] `CountTokenRequest` now includes `GenerationConfig` from the model.
-
+* [changed] **Breaking Change**: `ImagenInlineImage.data` now returns the raw
+  image bytes (in JPEG or PNG format, as specified in
+  `ImagenInlineImage.mimeType`) instead of Base64-encoded data. (#6800)
+    * **Action Required:** Remove any Base64 decoding from your
+      `ImagenInlineImage.data` usage.
+    * The `asBitmap()` helper method is unaffected and requires no code changes.
 
 # 16.2.0
 * [fixed] Added support for new values sent by the server for `FinishReason` and `BlockReason`.
