That's correct.

Basically, Mesa's been using and even/odd numbering scheme for many 
years now.  An odd-numbered release like 7.1 denotes a development 
release (usually lots of new features/changes).

After 7.1 has been out for a bit, the plan is to make a stable 7.2 
branch just for bug fixes.  The trunk will then be open again for new 
development.

BTW, I'll probably wrap up a 7.0.4 bug-fix release soon too.
