In case you were anxiously awaiting 1.7.1, just FYI: we're tracking down some bugs in the qthreads/Chapel interface, and I want to hold off on 1.7.1 until we get those squared away.
To avoid holding anyone up, I'll make a 1.7.1 release branch, and we'll propagate any Chapel fixes to trunk when we have them figured out.
The SVN URL for the 1.7.1 release branch is:
https://qthreads.googlecode.com/svn/branches/releases/1.7.1
