Please take a look at what's new in this release! + +# New Features and Improvements + +## Performance + +In Mesos 1.7, we put a lot of emphasis on performance. Thanks to the community’s hard work, several performance issues that have been affecting users are significantly improved: + + + +* The master `/state` endpoint is now more than twice as fast as before, and its processing is parallelized to provide higher throughput. As a result, Mesos UI and all tooling that consumes the `/state` endpoint are more responsive. +* [Mesos containerizer](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/mesos-containerizer/) has been a high-performance alternative to the Docker runtime, and now it’s even faster: launch and destroy throughput has increased by 2x in this release. +* The agent `/containers` endpoint no longer leads to high CPU consumption and thus is much more responsive. It now scales well to hundreds of containers running on the agent. +* We made several optimizations to the resource allocator so the allocation cycle is now 20% faster on a 1,000-node cluster, and more significant improvements in this area are in progress for the 1.8 release. + +In addition, there are also a variety of other minor performance improvements across the system. A separate blog post that describes the 1.7.0 performance improvements in-depth will soon be published, so stay tuned! + +## Containerization + +As usual, the 1.7.0 release includes several bug fixes to improve stability and reliability for users, as well as several new features and improvements: + +* New `cgroups/all` agent isolation option: This option enables the cgroups isolator to detect supported cgroup subsystems automatically, so users no longer need to manually choose which cgroup subsystems to enable. +* Better cgroupfs isolation: Containers launched by [Mesos Containerizer](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/mesos-containerizer/) can now only see their own cgroups within `/sys/fs/cgroup`, and thus no container is allowed to see the cgroup information of other containers. +* New `linux/devices` isolator: This isolator automatically populates containers with devices that have been whitelisted in the `--allowed_devices` agent flag. +* Fetching Docker image tarballs from HDFS: Now users can specify an `hdfs://` URI in the `--docker_registry` agent flag to use HDFS in lieu of a Docker registry. +* Better container network statistics: The built-in Container Network Interface (CNI) isolator now exposes more statistics to make users easier to monitor the network usage of each container. +* Better image pulling metrics: The new [containerizer metrics](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/monitoring/#containerizers) enable users to monitor the latency distribution for image pulling. + +## Framework Metrics + +To improve the user experience of operators when monitoring and diagnosing a cluster, we have added a variety of new metrics in Mesos 1.7 to provide greater visibility into the behavior of individual frameworks in the cluster. + +These metrics are added on a per-framework basis, so that new metric keys appear as new frameworks register with the master. Example metrics include: the numbers of calls received, number of events sent, offer-related counters (how many were sent/accepted/declined), counts of the various offer operations performed, and current task state totals for the framework. Please see the [metrics documentation](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/monitoring/#frameworks) for more details. + +## Multi-Framework Workloads + +The following improvements, combined with the allocator and metrics improvements mentioned above, make the experience of running multiple frameworks significantly better in Mesos 1.7: + +* We have improved the [framework development guide](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/app-framework-development-guide/) with guidelines on how to implement frameworks that are well-behaved in a multi-framework cluster. +* A new weighted random sorter was also added as an alternative to the existing DRF sorter, allowing users that don't need DRF behavior to opt-out in favor of allocating to roles using a weighted uniform distribution. + +# Upgrade + +In most cases, upgrades from Mesos 1.6.0 to Mesos 1.7.0 are straightforward. Please refer to the [upgrade guide](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/upgrades/) for detailed information on upgrading to Mesos 1.7.0. + +# Community + +Inspired by the work that went into this release?
