The 4.17 branch here is practically feature-complete. The plan is for Express 4.17 to be released in the coming days. Anyone interested in testing prior to release should do so soon.

All, this PR is now feature-complete. I am working on updating the documentation on the Express website, at which point this PR will be merged into master to be released. I anticipate 4.17.0 will be released today or tomorrow.
