 Release History
 ===============
 
+v0.7.1 (2023-08-18)
+-------------------
+
+This is a maintenance release with small API, tests, CI, and documentation updates.
+
+API
+...
+
+- Enabled generation of beamline elements from existing simulations.
+- Moved and updated the ``prepare_*_env.py`` code from the ``examples/``
+  directory of the repository to the library code, so that the new module can be
+  imported in IPython and Jupyter notebooks (both interactively and in the docs).
+  The ``argparser`` CLI argument parser was added to the module so that users can
+  specify the databroker config name and root path for the data files.
+
+Documentation
+.............
+
+- Pinned ``furo`` minimum version to 2023.8.17 for compatiblity with Sphinx 7.2.0
+  and 7.2.1.
+
+Tests
+.....
+
+- Sorted out test failures happening due to a small numerical difference of the
+  results from the PyPI-installed ``srwpy`` in the Sirepo Docker image.
+- Removed an old/irrelevant test.
+
+CI improvements
+...............
+
+- Switched from the conda action to built-in Python for CI (saves >2 minutes per
+  run).
+
+
 v0.7.0 (2023-08-04)
 -------------------
 
+This is a major release with new features to support the ``stateless-compute``
+API and propagation parameters in Sirepo/SRW and the old API used prior to
+v0.4.0 removed.
+
+This release includes many useful contributions from the SULI 2023 summer intern
+Riley Bode. Thank you!
+
 New features
 ............
 - Created ``.json`` and ``.yaml`` CLI exporters and added relevant tests.
