On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the release of Nikola v7.1.0.

Nikola v7.1.0 is a bugfix/feature release. It fixes quite a few bugs of v7.0.1 discovered in the intervening 3 months (sorry it took so long!), and also adds a few more features.

Get it!

Nikola v7.1.0 is available for download at GitHub and PyPI.
