v2.7.1
There were several bug fixes in this patch release. Some of them related to changes in 2.7.0 and some new ones that came up from bug reports. Some new enhancements are experimental signal handlers in the C-api, which will be used in the python interface to provide a little better user experience when trying to kill a co-simulation.
Changed

- The default webserver port is now 8080 to allow user space execution on non-Windows platforms #1936

- An issue with recorders writing text fields in the incorrect order which could result in incorrect playback #1910
