This minor release incorporates just over 100 substantive PRs - interesting things submitted by people - and around 140 auto-generated update PRs from dependabot and similar.
There are no major changes in this release over 7.0.0 and this release can be used in place of 7.0.0 without much worry about altered behaviour.
Since the previous release, we have updated the way auto-generated PRs are handled to ease the job of maintainers.
Due to the large numbers of PRs contained in this release, an abbreviated listing of them only is provided in the release notes in the Changelog file entry for this release.
