-### What ECMAScript 7 features do you support?
+### What ECMAScript 7/2016 features do you support?
 
 There is only one ECMAScript 7 syntax change: the exponentiation operator. Espree supports this.
 
+### What ECMAScript 2017 features do you support?
+
+Because ECMAScript 2017 is still under development, we are implementing features as they are finalized. Currently, Espree supports:
+
+* `async` functions
+* Trailing commas in function declarations and calls (including arrow functions and concise methods)
+
 ### How do you determine which experimental features to support?
 
 In general, we do not support experimental JavaScript features. We may make exceptions from time to time depending on the maturity of the features.
