Release v1.71

Relese updates

From this point on forward, I will omit news posts that says nothing more interesting than "new version". If you like to follow my release process the new-version tag is probably more interesting.

This release was the first one done by GitHub Action Automations. I have written a script that runs a few times a day for new upstream releases. If there is a release, an Issue is created like this one, and a pull request is created like this one. All the output that I normally executed on my computer is added to the PR.

This pattern follows what I have been doing manually for a few months, this is just another tooling improvement that I have implemented in this release utilizing the improved tests and version bump scripts.
