Release notes 1.7.1

While only a minor release on the surface, this one contains a lot of plumbing improvements below ground, needed to squash some tenacious bugs, and to provide a smoother user experience overall.

This is now configurable by a new option in the Settings dialog, and is applied regardless of what column is sorted on.
