+## kramdown 1.17.0 released
+
+This release adds support for another server side [math engine][katex] based on KaTeX but with an
+easier installation method. There are also various fixes, the most important one being a change in
+the Setext and atx style header parsers to prevent performance and potential denial of service
+problems.
+
+Thanks to all the people working on making kramdown better!
+
+## Changes
