+## Welcome to version 2.7.1 of NexusLIMS!
+
+### Highlights
+
+This is a patch release that fixes a bug in XML record generation where the `<sample>` element was missing its required `id` attribute. Without this fix, all `<sampleID>` references within acquisition activities in built records were dangling and unresolvable per the NexusLIMS schema. All users building records are encouraged to upgrade.
+
+As always, if you are looking for assistance with configuration or deployment of NexusLIMS, please contact [Datasophos](https://datasophos.co/#contact) to discuss your needs!
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Fixed missing `id` attribute on `<sample>` element in built XML records** ([#108](https://github.com/datasophos/NexusLIMS/pull/108)) -- `<sampleID>` references within every acquisition activity were dangling and unresolvable per the NexusLIMS schema.
+
