		## (Next Planned Release) v17.03
		## v17.03: Blobstore and userspace vhost-scsi target

		### Blobstore and BlobFS

		The blobstore is a persistent, power-fail safe block allocator designed to be
		used as the local storage system backing a higher-level storage service.
		See the [blobstore documentation](http://www.spdk.io/doc/blob.html) for more details.

		BlobFS adds basic filesystem functionality like filenames on top of the blobstore.
		This release also includes a RocksDB Env implementation using BlobFS in place of the
		kernel filesystem.
		See the [BlobFS documentation](http://www.spdk.io/doc/blobfs.html) for more details.

		### Userspace vhost-scsi target

		A userspace implementation of the QEMU vhost-scsi protocol has been added.
		The vhost target is capable of exporting SPDK bdevs to QEMU-based VMs as virtio devices.

		### Event framework
