+1.7.1_ - 2023-03-26
+===================
+
+Added
+-----
+- Prefix GitHub milestones with ``Darker`` for clarity since we'll have two additional
+  related repositories soon in the same project.
+
+Fixed
+-----
+- Use ``git worktree`` to create a repository checkout for baseline linting. This avoids
+  issues with the previous ``git clone`` and ``git checkout`` based approach.
 - Disallow Flynt version 0.78 and newer to avoid an internal API incompatibility.
+- In CI builds, run the ``commit-range`` action from the current checkout instead of
+  pointing to a release tag. This fixes workflows when in a release branch.
+- Linting fixes: Use ``stacklevel=2`` in ``warnings.warn()`` calls as suggested by
+  Flake8; skip Bandit check for virtualenv creation in the GitHub Action;
+  use ``ignore[method-assign]`` as suggested by Mypy.
