The Unreleased heading names 4.17.0 now. That is the first thing the release
run checks: changelog-section.py refuses a version with no section, and
store-listing.py refuses a listing missing a locale or over Play's 500
characters. Both pass - fifteen locales, the longest 418 characters in German,
and the byte counts that look close on Hindi, Russian and Japanese are not
characters.

Nothing under the heading changes.

scripts/store-copy.py v4.17.0 wrote the rest: the English from that section,
then one translation per locale against its own full_description.txt and the
release before it, and a review pass in each language. Three paragraphs, in the
order a reader would care about them - the PDFs that open and read properly now,
the pictures that come back in Word and Excel documents, and the table header
row that stays where it belongs.

The password-protected paragraph did not make the cut. It is the one change in
the section that leaves the reader no better off - the file still cannot be
opened, it is only named correctly now - and there is room to put it back if it
should go out: the English is 327 characters of the 400 it is held to.
