[ANN] Rails 4.2.7 and 4.1.16 have been released!

[Rafael Mendonça França]

Hi everyone,

I am happy to announce that Rails 4.2.7 and 4.1.16 have been released.

As [Rails 5 was released](http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2016/6/30/Rails-5-0-final/), this is probably

going to be the last release of Rails 4.1. Please take some time to upgrade your application to

Rails 4.2 or Rails 5.
