Today is Valentine's Day[1] in many parts of the world, an annual commemoration of love and affection typically celebrated with candy, stuffed animals, and floral arrangements.
She may seem a bit a fickle at times, but Cassandra loves you, and since most people would rather receive a gift of the heart than some prefabricated sentiment, the project decided to give the gift of point release, ala 0.7.1. Happy Valentine's Day! :) Redeem yours from the usual place[5] (or [6] for users of Debian and derivatives). And, as usual, be sure to read through the changes[2] and release notes[3]. Report any problems you find[4], and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
