 All notable changes to the Zlux App Server package will be documented in this file.
 
+## v2.17.0
+- Enhancement: app-server can now use Zowe's standardized and simplified AT-TLS configuration simply by toggling `zowe.network.server.tls.attls: true` or `components.app-server.zowe.network.server.tls.attls: true`. If you wish to control client tls separately from server tls, you can also use `zowe.network.client.tls.attls` or `components.app-server.zowe.network.client.tls.attls`. (#300) (#303)
+- Enhancement: The app-server configure stage performance increased due to combining two seperate processes in this stage (plugins-init.js and initInstance.js) into one. (#304)
+- Enhancement: Remove dns check specific to node 14 and below to reduce startup time. Node 14 has not been supported since september 2023. (#304)
+
+## v2.16.0
+- Bugfix: Removed message saying node not found prior to discovery of node. Now, you will only get an error message if node is not found after lookup in NODE_HOME.
+
 ## v2.14.0
 - Enhancement: Updated schema to specify multiple discovery servers.

 Plugins may depend upon other technologies, such as Java or ZSS. A plugin's [pluginDefinition](https://docs.zowe.org/stable/extend/extend-desktop/mvd-plugindefandstruct) or README will help you to understand if additional prerequisites are needed for that plugin.

 ### Troubleshooting
 If you encounter an error message saying `No config file found, initializing`, it means that the App Server could not find a configuration file in the expected location.
 
-To fix this issue, you need to create a zowe.yaml file in the following directory: `%USERPROFILE%\.zowe\workspace\app-server\serverConfig`. You can use [this](https://github.com/zowe/zlux-app-server/blob/v2.x/staging/defaults/serverConfig/zowe.yaml) template as a starting point.

 ### Server Logs
 When the server starts, it writes logs to a text file. On z/OS, Unix, and Linux, the server also logs to the terminal via stdout.
