Hello Christian,

the new upstream release is just a port to python3 and PyQt5. No
feature has been
added but obviously there are some big changes in there.

It is a pity that this RC has been issued only now, when I cannot
upload a proper
package. The best I could do is a new 1.7.1 stripping out the cyclograph-qt4
package.
You can find it in the git branch named "debian-1.7.1".
It contains many packaging commits cherry picked from the master branch, but
I could not update the compat to version 9. I hope this not a stopper.

Thank you
