+0.7.1 (2022-10-03) "digital spindrift"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The two new ll commands and the internal mp4ff library are the most
+user-visible changes of this release. On top of that there are two
+core changes which aim to improve the robustness of the code but which
+are otherwise invisible: the switch from select(2) to poll(2) and the
+revised memory allocation API which checks for integer overflows. The
+release also comes with a slight change to the build system and the
+usual mix of bug fixes and minor improvements not mentioned here.
