We are excited to announce that Apache Mesos 1.7.0 is now available for [download](/downloads). Please take a look at what's new in this release!

# New Features and Improvements

## Performance

In Mesos 1.7, we put a lot of emphasis on performance. Thanks to the community’s hard work, several performance issues that have been affecting users are significantly improved:

* The master `/state` endpoint is now more than twice as fast as before, and its processing is parallelized to provide higher throughput. As a result, Mesos UI and all tooling that consumes the `/state` endpoint are more responsive.
* [Mesos containerizer](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/mesos-containerizer/) has been a high-performance alternative to the Docker runtime, and now it’s even faster: launch and destroy throughput has increased by 2x in this release.
* The agent `/containers` endpoint no longer leads to high CPU consumption and thus is much more responsive. It now scales well to hundreds of containers running on the agent.
* We made several optimizations to the resource allocator so the allocation cycle is now 20% faster on a 1,000-node cluster, and more significant improvements in this area are in progress for the 1.8 release.<commit_msg>Updated the 1.7.0 release blog post description to match the figure.<commit_after>---
