 #### Change in `/health` endpoint response value
 
-Previously, `[endpoint]:[client-port]/health` returns manually marshaled JSON value. 3.3 instead defines [`etcdhttp.Health`](https://godoc.org/github.com/coreos/etcd/etcdserver/api/etcdhttp#Health) struct and returns properly encoded JSON value with errors, if any.

+#### Change in `Snapshot` API error type
+
+Previously, clientv3 `Snapshot` API returned raw [`grpc/*status.statusError`] type error. v3.3 now translates those errors to corresponding public error types, to be consistent with other APIs.

 #### Deprecate `golang.org/x/net/context` imports
 
 `clientv3` has deprecated `golang.org/x/net/context`. If a project vendors `golang.org/x/net/context` in other code (e.g. etcd generated protocol buffer code) and imports `github.com/coreos/etcd/clientv3`, it requires Go 1.9+ to compile.
