[pdal] PDAL 1.7.1 Released

[Howard Butler]

The PDAL team is pleased to announce the release of PDAL 1.7.1. We had made a 1.7.0 tarball yesterday, but some issues were quickly found and resolved, which necessitated another number.

Full details about the release can be found at https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/releases/tag/1.7.1 <https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/releases/tag/1.7.1> Download the source code at https://www.pdal.io/download.html <https://www.pdal.io/download.html> OSGeo4W64 build will be available shortly.
