+    + fix missing symbols from boost_system library

+Thu Nov 18 18:01:23 UTC 2021 - Danilo Spinella <danilo.spinella@suse.com>
+
+- update to 0.17.0:
+  * set the baseline C++ version to 17.
+  * mdds has been internalized so that the public header no longer contains
+    references to mdds.  With this change, the users can use different API
+    versions of mdds between the ixion build and run-time use.
+  * cleaned up public API to make use of std::string_view and std::variant
+    where appropriate.
+  * implemented built-in LEFT() function in the formula interpreter.
+  * it is no longer required to set the size of void* at build time to ensure
+    the binaries to be fully functional.
+  * fixed a bug where named expressions with names containing invalid
+    characters were still allowed in.
