Note

Overview
Release Please bumps the package from 9.16.1 to 9.17.0 in pyproject.toml, ldclient/version.py, .release-please-manifest.json, and the provenance example in PROVENANCE.md.

CHANGELOG.md gains a new 9.17.0 (2026-08-28) section that records what ships in this minor release: a broad async surface (AsyncLDClient, AsyncConfig, async FDv1/FDv2 data systems, event processor, hooks/plugins, migration, and Redis/DynamoDB persistent stores plus big-segment async support), plus sync improvements (Config.with_wrapper_information, hook environment ID, read-only store views) and bug fixes (tombstones, redactedAttributes escaping, FDv2 persistent-store resilience, all_flags_state prerequisites).

No application logic changes appear in this diff—only version metadata and release notes.
