 v0.18.0 (UNRELEASED)
 ====================
 
+The focus of 0.18 have been on two fronts: the local library and browsing.
+
+First, the local library's old tag cache file used for storing the track
+metadata scanned from your music collection has been replaced with a far
+simpler implementation using JSON as the storage format. At the same time, the
+local library have been made replaceable by extensions, so you can now create
+extensions that use your favorite database to store the metadata.
+
+Second, we've finally implemented the long awaited "file system" browsing
+feature that you know from MPD. It is supported by both the MPD frontend and
+the local and Spotify backends. It is also used by the new Mopidy-Dirble
+extension to provide you with a directory of Internet radio stations from all
+over the world.
+
+Since the release of 0.17, we've closed or merged 47 issues and pull requests
+through about 270 commits by :ref:`11 people <authors>`, including six new
+guys. Thanks to everyone that has contributed!
