All, So we had some last minute issues pop up but I think its still important we aim to get a 1.7.1 out with the bug fixes included.
Proposed release notes can be found here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12312820&version=12335497 As a result, I'd like to plan to cut the release Sunday evening, starting the vote either then or Monday morning. John
