-### Spatial import: standard Visium and Xenium (`feat/spatial`, for 0.17.0)
-
-Decisions:
-- Standard Visium (Space Ranger 1–4) and Xenium (XOA 1–4) first, with no new
-  dependency: both come as CSV, JSON and PNG. Visium HD, whose positions are
-  Parquet only, waits for a `spatial` extra with pyarrow.
-- Laid out as squidpy (Visium) and spatialdata-io's table (Xenium) lay
-  them out; images stay the PNGs' uint8 pixels. Xenium brings its own
-  clusters, UMAP and PCA, read from `analysis.tar.gz` as it ships.
-- A table beside the matrix is matched to its barcodes while scanned
-  (`conversion/spatial.py`), and written straight through when in the
-  matrix's order (Xenium's cells, on every real bundle checked) or through
-  `core/scatter.py` when not.
-
-Steps:
-- [x] `table.py`: headerless files, `on_index`, reusable columns
-- [x] `core/scatter.py`
-- [x] Visium: `visium.py`, flags `--library-id`, `--no-images`, `--unfiltered`
-- [x] Xenium: `xenium.py`, analysis from the folder or the archive
-- [x] Performance guards; squidpy and 10x-recipe comparisons; `import-xenium` benchmark
-- [x] Real data by hand: Visium SR 1.1 and SR 2.1, Xenium XOA 3.0 and 4.0 tiny
-- [x] Docs: two format pages, tables, guide, Troubleshooting, Developers
-- [ ] PR, review, merge; release 0.17.0
+Nothing. Spatial (standard Visium and Xenium) is out in 0.17.0; Visium HD
+is first among the follow-ups below.

 Notable changes to `adata-cli`. Versions are `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`; tags carry no
 `v` prefix.
 
+## 0.17.0
+
+`convert` reads 10x's spatial outputs with their coordinates: a Space
+Ranger folder for standard Visium, with its spot positions, tissue images
+and scale factors where squidpy puts them, and a Xenium bundle, with its
+cell table, centroids and Xenium's own clusters, UMAP and PCA. No new
+dependency; Visium HD, whose positions are Parquet only, comes later.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Visium (Space Ranger 1–4)**
+  ([#79](https://github.com/cellgeni/adata-cli/pull/79)). `adata convert
+  outs -o section.h5ad` gives what `squidpy.read.visium` gives, checked
+  against it in CI: obs `in_tissue`, `array_row`, `array_col`;
+  `obsm["spatial"]` in full-resolution pixels; `uns["spatial"][library]`
+  with the images (uint8, as the PNGs hold them), the scale factors and the
+  metadata.
+  - New flags `--library-id` and `--no-images`; `--unfiltered` reads
+    `raw_feature_bc_matrix.h5`, as it reads Parse's unfiltered matrix.
+  - Space Ranger 1's headerless `tissue_positions_list.csv`, decimal
+    positions, and 10x's downloads named with their sample are read.
+  - Refused before anything is written: a barcode with no position, aggr
+    output, Visium HD, and a folder whose matrix is Matrix Market only.
+- **Xenium (XOA 1–4)**
+  ([#79](https://github.com/cellgeni/adata-cli/pull/79)). `adata convert
+  bundle -o cells.h5ad` puts `cells.csv.gz`'s columns in obs and the
+  centroids in `obsm["spatial"]` (µm), and Xenium's graph-based clusters,
+  UMAP and PCA in `obs["graphclust"]`, `obsm["X_umap"]` and `obsm["X_pca"]`,
+  read from `analysis.tar.gz` as Xenium ships it. Checked against 10x's
+  scanpy recipe in CI.
+  - The cell table is matched to the matrix while it is scanned and
+    written straight through, as Xenium writes both in one order; a table
+    in another order goes through scratch buckets (`core/scatter.py`), so
+    memory stays at a block either way.
+- **An `import-xenium` benchmark case**, against 10x's scanpy recipe.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A Space Ranger `outs/` folder was refused**
+  ([#79](https://github.com/cellgeni/adata-cli/pull/79)) as a Cell Ranger 2
+  MTX layout ("pick one with --genome"): its two MEX folders were taken for
+  genomes. A Xenium bundle likewise.
+- **A CSV saved with a byte order mark**, as Excel saves one, kept the
+  mark in its first column's name, so a table looked up by that name was
+  refused as lacking it, or a Visium positions file taken for one with no
+  header.
