7.1.0
^^^^^


New Features
************

* Adds a new device driver, "netmiko_aruba_os", for managing
  ArubaOS- CX switch devices.

* Add support for Cisco Nexus devices (NX-OS).

* Adds a new device driver, "netmiko_dell_os10", for managing Dell
  OS10 based switch devices.

* Add new device setting "ngs_save_configuration", allowing to
  disable saving configuration on the device after each change.  This
  can speed up the overall process significantly, but changes will be
  lost if the device reboots.

* Add new device setting "ngs_ssh_disabled_algorithms".  This allows
  to selectively disable SSH algorithms of various types, which may
  help to speed up SSH connection (faster key exchange algorithm) or
  to workaround buggy SSH implementations found on some devices.

* Adds support for batching of requests using etcd as a task queue.


Other Notes
***********

* Adds a stress testing script, "ngs-stress.py", in the "tools/ngs-
  stress" directory of the source code repository.
