+You can read about the new features in Luigi v1.17.0 in the release notes below.
+
+<!-- Excerpt -->
+
+#### New replaceIntentRoute parameter
+
+A new parameter [replaceIntentRoute](https://docs.luigi-project.io/docs/navigation-parameters-reference/?section=replaceintentroute) was introduced. It defines whether the intent navigation route resolves to actual path automatically or not.
+
+For example, when the parameter is defined, an address `http://localhost:4200/#?intent=Sales-settings?param1=abc&param2=bcd`
+will be translated to its actual path: `http://localhost:4200/projects/pr2/settings?~param1=abc&~param2=bcd`. And with hashRouting enabled, the example `http://localhost:4200/#?intent=Sales-settings?param1=abc&param2=bcd` will translate to:`http://localhost:4200/#/projects/pr2/settings?~param1=abc&~param2=bcd`.
+
+#### Improved user settings
+
+The dropdown in Luigi's [user settings](https://docs.luigi-project.io/docs/user-settings) dialog was refactored to the latest Fiori3 specifications to be easily accessible via keyboard. You can find more information [here](https://github.com/SAP/luigi/pull/2293).
+
+Also, the Profile dropdown entities in user settings are now accessible via keyboard. You can learn more [here](https://github.com/SAP/luigi/pull/2256).
+
+#### getCurrentLocale works with Luigi Client Web Components

+With our newest release, you can use the [getCurrentLocale](https://docs.luigi-project.io/docs/luigi-client-api/?section=getcurrentlocale) function within [Web Components](https://docs.luigi-project.io/docs/web-component) of Luigi Client.
