+NFD version 0.7.1
+-----------------
+
+Release date: October 8, 2020
+
+The build requirements have been increased to require Clang >= 4.0, Xcode >= 9.0, and Python 3.
+Meanwhile, it is *recommended* to use GCC >= 7.4.0 and Boost >= 1.65.1.
+This effectively drops official support for Ubuntu 16.04 when using distribution-provided Boost
+packages -- NFD may still work on this platform, but we provide no official support for it.
+Additionally, this release drops support for CentOS 7.
