CyanogenMod 7.1 released.

CyanogenMod team has finally released a new stable version of their awesome firmware. There were hiccups in the automated build system, leading to the delay.

You can grab the latest CyanogenMod release downloads from Rom Manager or manually from here. Upgrading from any previous CM-7 release or nightly build should not be a problem and no wipe would be required. As always upgrades also keep your apps as they are.
