+What's new
+----------
+
+Rockcraft 1.7.0 brings the following features, integrations, and improvements.
+
+
+Support for remote builds
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We added support for remote builds, which leverage off-site compute for
+building rocks and can build for multiple architectures with a single command.
+Remote builds are hosted on Launchpad.
+
+This feature is experimental and subject to change, and more information is
+available by running ``rockcraft remote-build --help``. Feel free to provide
+feedback on the `Ubuntu Discourse`_ forum.
+
+Minor features
+--------------
+
+Rockcraft 1.7.0 brings the following minor changes.
+
+
+``init`` command
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The default base of the project file generated by ``rockcraft init`` has been
+updated from ``[email protected]`` to ``[email protected]``.
+
+
+Rockcraft snap
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The base of the Rockcraft snap was updated from core22 to core24.
+
+
+Go extension
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A new :ref:`tutorial <build-a-rock-for-a-go-application>` and :ref:`reference
+<go-framework-reference>` are available for the go-framework extension.
+
+
+OCI image configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using ``run-user: _daemon_``, the value of the ``Config.User`` key in the
+generated rock has been updated from the user name (``_daemon_``) to its
+numeric ID.
+
+
+12-factor extensions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We added support for Gunicorn async workers on the Django and Flask 12-factor
+extensions.
+
+
+12-factor app documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The documentation for the various 12-factor framework extensions has been
+updated for clarity and to better conform with documentation best practices.
+
+
+Maven and Ant plugins
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We changed the location of the Java runtime executable on rocks built using the
+the Maven and Ant plugins from ``/bin/java`` to ``/usr/bin/java``, as the
+former conflicts with the user-merged Ubuntu base.
+
+Fixed bugs and issues
+---------------------
+
+The following issues have been resolved in Rockcraft 1.7.0:
+
+- `#659`_ Kubernetes ``runAsNonRoot`` incompatibility with
+  ``run-user: _daemon_``.
+- `#749`_ Trying to build the output of "expand-extensions" fails because of the
+  pebble part.
