+swift (2.17.0)
+
+    * Added symlink objects support.
+
+      Symlink objects reference one other object. They are created by
+      creating an empty object with an X-Symlink-Target header. The value of
+      the header is of the format <container>/<object>, and the target does
+      not need to exist at the time of symlink creation. Cross-account
+      symlinks can be created by including the
+      X-Symlink-Target-Account header.
+
+      GET and HEAD requests to a symlink will operate on the
+      referenced object and require appropriate permission in the
+      target container. DELETE and PUT requests will operate on the
+      symlink object itself. POST requests are not forwarded to the
+      referenced object. POST requests sent to a symlink will result
+      in a 307 Temporary Redirect response.
+
+    * Added support for inline data segments in SLO manifests.
+
+      Upgrade impact: during a rolling upgrade, an updated proxy server
+      may write a manifest that an out-of-date proxy server will not be
+      able to read. This will resolve itself once the upgrade completes
+      on all nodes.
+
+    * The tempurl digest algorithm is now configurable, and Swift added
+      support for both SHA-256 and SHA-512. Supported tempurl digests
+      are exposed to clients in `/info`. Additionally, tempurl signatures
+      can now be base64 encoded.
+
+    * Object expiry improvements
+
+      - Disallow X-Delete-At header values equal to the X-Timestamp header.
+
+      - X-Delete-At computation now uses X-Timestamp instead of
+        system time. This prevents clock skew causing inconsistent
+        expiry data.
+
+      - Deleting an expiring object will now cause less work in the system.
+        The number of async pending files written has been reduced for all
+        objects and greatly reduced for erasure-coded objects. This
+        dramatically reduces the burden on container servers.
+
+      - Stopped logging tracebacks when receiving an unexpected response.
+
+      - Allow the expirer to gracefully move past updating stale work items.
+
+    * When the object auditor examines an object, it will now add any
+      missing metadata checksums.
+
+    * `swift-ring-builder` improvements
+
+      - Save the ring when dispersion improves, even if balance
+        doesn't improve.
+
+      - Improved the granularity of the ring dispersion metric so that
+        small improvements after a rebalance can show changes in the
+        dispersion number. Dispersion in existing and new rings can be
+        recalculated using the new '--recalculate' option to
+        `swift-ring-builder`.
+
+      - Display more info on empty rings.
+
+    * Fixed rare socket leak on range requests to erasure-coded objects.
+
+    * The number of container updates on object PUTs (ie to update listings)
+      has been recomputed to be far more efficient while maintaining
+      durability guarantees. Specifically, object PUTs to erasure-coded
+      policies will now normally result in far fewer container updates.
+
+    * Moved Zuul v3 tox jobs into the Swift code repo.
+
+    * Changed where liberasurecode-devel for CentOS 7 is referenced and
+      installed as a dependency.
+
+    * Added container/object listing with prefix to InternalClient.
+
+    * Added '--swift-versions' to `swift-recon` CLI to compare installed
+      versions in the cluster.
+
+    * Stop logging tracebacks in the `object-replicator` when it runs
+      out of handoff locations.
+
+    * Send ETag header in 206 Partial Content responses to SLO reads.
+
+    * Now `swift-recon-cron` works with conf.d configs.
+
+    * Improved `object-updater` stats logging. It now tells you all of
+      its stats (successes, failures, quarantines due to bad pickles,
+      unlinks, and errors), and it tells you incremental progress every
+      five minutes. The logging at the end of a pass remains and has
+      been expanded to also include all stats.
+
+    * If a proxy server is configured to autocreate accounts and the
+      account create fails, it will now return a server error (500)
+      instead of Not Found (404).
+
+    * Fractional replicas are no longer allowed for erasure code policies.
+
+    * Various other minor bug fixes and improvements.
+
+
 swift (2.16.0)
 
     * Add checksum to object extended attributes.
