CyanogenMod 7.1 has been released

A big day as usual for Android users, specially CyanogenMod users! a new version of CyanogenMod has been released that is 7.1. The change log lists a lot of new features.

CyanogenMod: You’ll find many new features and support for building on 68 devices! Upgrading from any previous CM-7 release or nightly build should be smooth and no wipe should be required.

CyanogenMod mentions about its delayed release and of course excuses for that delay. But I believe that a very few of you would have needed those excuses because CyanogenMod has been a big impression on you and you will welcome 7.1 in the same way with out any objections on stupid delayed reasons. But you may be objecting if your device is not currently supported. Well have a look at the following supported devices.

Supported devices:

HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S
HTC Incredible 2
LG Optimus 2X and T-Mobile G2x
Motorola Backflip (Motus)
Motorola Cliq / Cliq XT
Motorola Defy
Motorola Droid 2

Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
