+# What's New in graphql-js v17?
+
+## Specification Changes
+
+### New Experimental Features
+
+#### Experimental Support for Incremental Delivery
+
+- enabled only when using `experimentalExecuteIncrementally()`, use of a schema or operation with `@defer`/`@stream` directives within `execute()` will now throw.
+- enable early execution with the new `enableEarlyExecution` configuration option for `experimentalExecuteIncrementally()`.
+
+#### Experimental Support for Fragment Arguments
+
+- enable with the new `experimentalFragmentArguments` configuration option for `parse()`.
+- new experimental `Kind.FRAGMENT_ARGUMENT` for visiting
+- new experimental `TypeInfo` methods and options for handling fragment arguments.
+- coerce AST via new function `coerceInputLiteral()` with experimental fragment variables argument (as opposed to deprecated `valueFromAST()` function).
+
+### Clarifications
+
+- Fix ambiguity around when schema definition may be omitted (#3839)
+- No reusing root types (#3453)
+
+## New API features
+
+- Use `coerceInputLiteral()` instead of `valueFromAST()`.
+- Support for resolver functions returning async iterables.
+- Expose `printDirective()` helper function.
+
+## API Changes:
+
+- Changes to the `subscribe()` function:
+  - `subscribe()` may now return a non-promise.
+  - When a subscription root field errors, `subscribe()` now returns a well-formatted `GraphQLError` rather than throwing.
+- Properly type `IntrospectionType` using `TypeKind` Enum.
+
+## Deprecations
+
+- `valueFromAST()` is deprecated, use `coerceInputLiteral()` instead.
+
+## Removals
+
+- Removed deprecated `graphql/subscription` module, use `graphql/execution` instead
+- Removed deprecated `getOperationRootType()` #3571, use `schema.getRootType()` instead.
+- Remove deprecated `assertValidName()` and `isValidNameError()`, use `assertName()` instead.
+- Removed deprecated custom `TypeInfo` argument for `validate()`.
+- Remove deprecated custom `getFieldDefFn()` argument for `TypeInfo` constructor. To customize field resolution, one can subclass the `GraphQLSchema` class and override the `getField()` method.
+- Remove deprecated positional arguments for the `GraphQLError` constructor.
+- Remove deprecated distinct Enum types: `KindEnum`, `TokenKindEnum`, and `DirectiveLocationEnum`.
+- Remove deprecated `getVisitFn()` helper function, use `getEnterLeaveForKind()` instead.
+- Remove deprecated `formatError()` and `printError()` helper sfunctions, use `error.toString()` and `error.toJSON()` methods instead.
+- Remove deprecated positional arguments for `createSourceEventStream()`.
