I am currently having to deal with a site-breaking bug in 0.17 that has been fixed in master on github. Based on the current way releases are structured, I will have to wait till 0.18 to get the fixes to my site.
Please consider switching to versions such as 0.17.0 so that you could also have releases that fix any bugs in a release such as 0.17.1 without releasing a major release.
