+# 1.7.0
+
+Welcome to the 1.7.0 release of apisix-ingress-controller!
+
+This is a feature release.
+
+## Highlights
+
+The API version of all custom resources has been upgraded to v2 in v1.5 release. In 1.7 we removed the v2beta3 API. Please go to [#707](https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller/issues/707) for detail.
+
+In this version we added more Gateway API support and add IngressClass support for all CRDs.
+
+From this version, we try to add a new architecture, then user can reduce etcd of APISIX. (This feature is experimental.)
+
+Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
+https://github.com/apache/apisix-ingress-controller/issues.
