I'll add to the above...

Looks like v7.0 fixed 26 known bugs (not all of which pertain to the sip
version), and v7.1 lists 28 resolved caveats (some of which appear to be
duplicate descriptions of those noted as fixed in v7.0).

V7.1 lists the following as open caveats:
 - SIP: 79x0 phones are not escaping reserved characters in URI/URLs
 - SIP: Need to CACHE & cycle thru multiple DNS entries for FQDN Type A
 - SIP: Phone are not sending ICMP port unreachable
 - SIP: Inconsistent behaviour of AutoComplete feature on 79x0 phones
 - Anonymous Call Rejection returns wrong Response code
 - SIP: 79x0 ignores dst_start_time parameter when configured
 - SIP: Tx INVITEs to wrong port number after Rx 302 Moved Temporarily
 - SIP: CallerID Blocking needs to change more values to ANONYMOUS

Initial tests with v7.1 and CVS-HEAD-05/26/04 look good thus far.
