grpc-java 1.17.0 was tagged and artifacts are available on Maven Central. But please don't use it.
We discovered
an issue with the gRPC LB handling that was not resolved before SRV lookup was enabled. Clients using 1.17.0 without the grpc-grpclb dependency would break when a service enables gRPC LB, even if there are fallback addresses.
We will either fix the issue or disable SRV, and then release a 1.17.1.
