Just some questions and ideas:

Will the display of new features go to a separate tab on the About page?
Will it be translatable?

For the (new) system preferences:

Will they have a separate tab on the About page as well?

Or, as an alternative, will they somehow be highlighted on Home >
Administration > System preferences?
Maybe have the version number as a search criterium (or a filter) for the (new
or changed) system preferences? 

We could have a new column 'version' in the table 'systempreferences' and
include it to the search. Then you could have a link like:
.../cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?op=search&searchfield=17.05
to display all sysprefs related to this version, and they would appear in the
installed languages as appropriate.

To announce the new version in staff client:

What about creating a 'News' item that appears for all libraries? 

Such a news item could contain a standard text with the release number, and
links to the new features and preferences. Library staff then could edit it,
e.g. adding some library specific information ("Please report issues to...")
The creaton of such news item could take place at the end of the installation
process. The text used would be the translated one for the language chosen at
the start of the installation porcess.
