+## v0.17.0-beta (2018-02-07)
+
+*This interim release adds cosmetic and content improvements to the Positive,
+Modern, and Compact themes along with minor updates to the helpers-and-partials infrastructure for theme developers.*
+
+### Theme: Positive
+
+- Improved cosmetics.
+- Added EXTRACURRICULAR section.
+- Added `location` field (when present) on EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, & AFFILIATION
+sections.
+- Created [standalone version of Positive theme][1].
+- Roll up the REFERENCES section into a "references available upon request"
+message at the bottom of the resume.
+- Updated PDF format from HTML.
+
+### Theme: Modern
+
+- Improved cosmetics.
+- The SKILLS section now displays the number of years associated with each skill,
+since this is a common metric asked for by HR personnel and recruiters.
+- Added EXTRACURRICULAR section.
+- Updated PDF format from HTML.
+
+### Theme: Compact
+
+- Added EXTRACURRICULAR section.
+- Updated PDF format from HTML.
+
+### Custom Themes
+
+- Added reusable EXTRACURRICULAR partial (all formats).
+- Added two minor skill-related template helpers, `ifHasSkill` and `skillYears`.
+- HackMyResume: Fixed issue that would prevent custom FRESH themes from loading
+if the theme folder contained uppercase characters.
+- HackMyResume: Fixed issue that would prevent custom FRESH themes from loading
+if they inherited from a predefined theme but didn't themselves live in the
+`fresh-themes` repository.
+
+### Other
+
+- Introduced CHANGELOG.md (this file).
+- Changed release notes format. Instead of the conventional
+`Added / Changed / Fixed` structure, changes are grouped under each theme,
+making it easier to track theme-specific changes from release to release.
