It acts as a router: based on your situation, open the right note under references/.
Release Highlights (1.16.3 → 1.17.0)
Monitoring + ops: new APIs for optimization progress/stages and cluster-wide telemetry, plus a dedicated HTTP port option for /metrics.
Security: audit access logging and secondary API key support (rotation).
Retrieval: relevance feedback and Weighted RRF for hybrid ranking.
Write semantics:update_mode for upserts (upsert / update / insert).
Breaking / Upgrade Notes (1.17.0)
gRPC clients: response format for vector fields changed in gRPC. Upgrade official Qdrant client libraries and validate any custom gRPC integrations.
Storage upgrades: RocksDB is removed in favor of gridstore. If you are on v1.15.x, do not upgrade directly to v1.17.x — upgrade one minor version at a time.
