 ## [Unreleased](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/compare/latest...HEAD)
 
+## [0.17.0](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/compare/0.16.1...0.17.0) - TODO: title - 2024-07-0? TODO: fix date
+
+### ✨ Overview & highlights
+
+* 🟦 Blueprint component override & defaults
+  * *Defaults*: Configure default component value for an entire view used when no data-store (via `log`) value was found
+  * *Override*: Ignore data-store & default value and use specified value instead. Can be set per view per entity.
+  * Both are available from UI and (Python) blueprint code
+  * New UI section on entity-in-view shows all active visualizers, what components they use and where they come from
+  * Everything that was editable per Entity in a View uses component overrides now (e.g. camera plane distance, transform axis lengths etc.)
+  * Tip: Tooltips for each component in the UI link to the docs now!
+* 🕸️ Improved notebook & website embedding support
+  * There's now a new Python package specifically for notebook support `rerun_notebook` TODO: link
+  * Among other things you can now stream data to Rerun notebook cells
+  * Menu bar, time controls, etc. can now be fully hidden
+  * TODO: More details!
+* 🧑‍🏫 New Examples
+  * [Paddle OCR](https://rerun.io/examples/video-image/ocr)
+  * [Vista driving world model](https://rerun.io/examples/generative-vision/vista)
+  * [Stereo Vision SLAM]() // TODO: LINK
+* 🛠️ New/changed components: TODO: doc links
+  * `ImagePlaneDistance`, allows to configure the size of the Pinhole frustum visualization
+  * `AxisLength`, allows to configure the axis length of the transform visualization
+  * (Depth/Segmentation)Images
+    * `Opacity`, used to configure `Image` & `SegmentationImage` transparency
+      * except for `SegmentationImage` layered images are no longer made automatically transparent
+    * `FillRatio`, for setting the point radius on `DepthImage` in 3D views
+    * `Colormap`, for setting `DepthImage` colormap
+    * `AggregationPolicy`, for setting aggregation policy on line plots
+  * `Interactive` property for making objects non-interactive in views is now exposed. Can only be used as override so far.
+  * `Radius` component can now optionally specify radius in UI points
+* 🖼️ New blueprint accessible View properties
+  * `TensorView` is now fully configurable from code
+  * `BarChartView` has now configurable plot legend placement
+* 🚚 In the process of making the store based on component chunks across time. More on this in the next release!
+  * SDKs are already using chunks, performance characteristics may have changed but should be largely the same for the moment
+
+TODO: is last bullet point needed?
