Version 7.1 contains a number of enhancements, improvements and bugfixes from the 7.0 series.

• FreeBSD 7.2-Pre
• KDE 4.2.2
   
• The new KDE 4 printer applet enables users to easily add and manage printers and print jobs without using the CUPS web interface.
• The Add / Remove Programs tool and the Update Manager have been consolidated into “Software & Updates.”
• The Updater Tray has been modified into a small tray-only applet that shows users when updates are available. This is far less taxing on the CPU than its previous versions.
• FreeBSD ports and packages can now be installed in a clean localbase by utilizing the “runports” command.
• Greater stability for Flash 9 allows users to get higher quality from Flash sites such as Hulu and Youtube.
• Enhancements have been made to PC-BSD's System Installer, including upgrade functionality for those who wish to upgrade / repair PC-BSD while preserving their user data.
• Fixes have been made to bugs in the Wi-Fi and Networking tools, as well as to previous Linux Emulation problems.

For a full list of changes, please refer to the changelog. Users who wish to upgrade from PC-BSD 7.0.x are able to do so via the upgrade / repair option during the installation.
