 # OSBuild Composer - Operating System Image Composition Services
 
+## CHANGES WITH 17:
+
+  * AWS images are now built in the raw format. Previously used vhdx was
+    space-efficient but actually caused about 30% of uploads to fail.
+
+  * The spec file had a wrong version of lorax-composer to obsolete, causing
+    upgrades to fail. This is now fixed.
