+v1.17.0
+===
+
+This long-coming release, four months after v1.16.0, adds support for Kafka 3.7
+and adds a few community added or requested APIs. There will be a kadm release
+shortly following this one, and maybe a plugin release.
+
+This adds full support for [KIP-951][KIP-951], as well as protocol support for
+[KIP-919][KIP-919] (which has no client facing features) and [KIP-848][KIP-848]
+(protocol only, not the feature!). KIP-951 should make the client faster at
+handling when the broker moves partition leadership to a different broker.
+
+There are two fairly minor bug fixes in the kgo package in this release, both
+described below. There is also one bugfix in the pkg/sr independent (and
+currently) untagged module. Because pkg/sr is untagged, the bugfix was released
+a long time ago, but the relevant commit is still mentioned below.

+[KIP-951]: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-951%3A+Leader+discovery+optimisations+for+the+client
+[KIP-919]: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-919%3A+Allow+AdminClient+to+Talk+Directly+with+the+KRaft+Controller+Quorum+and+add+Controller+Registration
+[KIP-848]: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-848%3A+The+Next+Generation+of+the+Consumer+Rebalance+Protocol
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* Previously, upgrading a consumer group from non-cooperative to cooperative
+  _while_ the group was running did not work. This is now fixed. (thanks [@hamdanjaveed](https://github.com/hamdanjaveed)
+
+* Previously, if a cooperative consumer group member rebalanced _while_ fetching
+  offsets for partitions, if those partitions were _not_ lost in the rebalance,
+  the member would call OnPartitionsAssigned with those partitions _again_.
+  Now, those partitions are passed to OnPartitionsAssigned only once (the first time).
+
+## Improvements
+
+* The client will now stop lingering if you hit max buffered records or bytes.
+  Previously, if your linger was long enough, you could stall once you hit
+either of the Max options; that is no longer the case.
+
+* If you are issuing admin APIs on the same client you are using for consuming
+  or producing, you may see fewer metadata requests being issued.
+
+There are a few other even more minor improvements in the commit list if you
+wish to go spelunking :).
+
+## Features
+
+* The `Offset` type now has a new method `AtCommitted()`, which causes the
+  consumer to not fetch any partitions that do _not_ have a previous commit.
+  This mirrors Kafka's `auto.offset.reset=none` option.
+
+* KIP-951, linked above and the commit linked below, improves latency around
+  partition leader transfers on brokers.
+
+* `Client.GetConsumeTopics` allows you to query what topics the client is
+  currently consuming. This may be useful if you are consuming via regex.
+
+* `Client.MarkCommitOffsets` allows you to mark offsets to be committed in
+   bulk, mirroring the non-mark API `CommitOffsets`.
