Purpose

Release 0.17.0: the C and Rust APIs readied to stay compatible from 1.0 on, and broken once here for that (#152).

Changes

• CHANGELOG.md: [Unreleased] becomes [0.17.0] - 2026-10-31, with a summary:
  • the C API's structs that can grow, plane sizes, statuses and versions (D69, feat(ffi): structs that can grow, plane sizes, new statuses, versions #153);
  • the Rust API's #[non_exhaustive] types and renames (D70, feat(core): a Rust API that can grow #154).
• Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock: version 0.17.0.
• crates/emberwave-ffi/src/lib.rs and the regenerated header: EMBERWAVE_VERSION_MINOR 17 and EMBERWAVE_VERSION 1700, which the build ties to the crate's version.
• ARCHITECTURE.md: the status line names v0.17.0.
• README.md, README.ko.md: the roadmap's done paragraph adds 0.17.
• crates/emberwave-ffi/README.md: the Swift package example names v0.17.0.

After the merge: the annotated tag v0.17.0 ("emberwave v0.17.0") on the merge commit, then a check of the release's assets.

Testing

• The CLI builds and reports 0.17.0.
• The header test passes after regenerating the header, and the header's version equals the library's.
• The release's contents were tested in feat(ffi): structs that can grow, plane sizes, new statuses, versions #153 and feat(core): a Rust API that can grow #154, whose CI ran on the three systems, Rust 1.87, wasm32 and the XCFramework.

Benchmark impact

None.
