-## Performance Improvements
+## Notable Bug Fixes
+
+### Only first ZooKeeper server is used
 
-Apache Accumulo 1.6.1 includes a number of performance-related fixes over previous versions.
-Many of these improvements were also included in the recently released Apache Accumulo 1.5.2.
+In constructing a `ZooKeeperInstance`, the user provides a comma-separated list of addresses for ZooKeeper
+servers. 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 incorrectly truncated the provided list of ZooKeeper servers used to the first. This
+would cause clients to fail when the first ZooKeeper server in the list became unavailable and not properly
+load balance requests to all available servers in the quorum. [ACCUMULO-3218][5] fixes the parsing of
+the ZooKeeper quorum list to use all servers, not just the first.
+
+### Incorrectly handled ZooKeeper exception
+
+Use of ZooKeeper's API requires very careful exception handling as some thrown exceptions from the ZooKeeper
+API are considered "normal" and must be retried by the client. In 1.6.1, Accumulo improved its handling of
+these "expected failures" to better insulate calls to ZooKeeper; however, the wrapper which sets data to a ZNode
+incorrectly handled all cases. [ACCUMULO-3448][6] fixed the implementation of `ZooUtil.putData(...)` to handle
+the expected error conditions correctly.
+
+### `scanId` is not set in `ActiveScan`
+
+The `ActiveScan` class is the returned object by `InstanceOperations.listScans`. This class represents a
+"scan" running on Accumulo servers, either from a `Scanner` or `BatchScanner`. The `ActiveScan` class 
+is meant to represent all of the information that represents the scan and can be useful to administrators
+or DevOps-types to observe and act on scans which are running for excessive periods of time. [ACCUMULO-2641][7]
+fixes `ActiveScan` to ensure that the internal identifier `scanId` is properly set.
