 # 1.7.1:  
 
-A small bug-fix release.
+This release focusses on fixing bugs found in 1.7.0. The most important ones
+are fixing sizing bug, fix nested media statements and broken close-on-delete.
+There are a few new features to help themeing: We now support
+`env(ENV,default)` statement and when dumping a theme theme-names are resolved
+(f.e. `green`, `lightblue`, etc.).
+
+Thanks to everybody reporting bugs, providing patches that made this release possible.
+
+For a more complete list of changes see below.
