I am completely confused (and that is not what Mageia should be doing)
There are now two releases, Magea 7 and Mageia 7.1 In the distributions,
the 7.1 repository is a link to the 7 repository which would imply that there are two names which mean the same thing. It used to be that the .1
was an update of the original coming out many months later. But now we
have two numbers that apparently mean the same thing. But then in the
iso, 7 and 7.1 are different (different sums)
What is going on here? What is a poor user supposed to make of this? re
there two releases that either are or are not the same thing?

I would suggest your "poor user" would not know about the repository
link and would pick the higher version for install. Pretty straight
forward when you think about it.
As for your link, an up to date 7 has the updates found in 7.1 and would
be a waste of space to have a 7.0 and 7.1 repository.
I suggest to you the the iso difference would be about installer fixes
and would not normally be seen in the users's install packages.
I would also suggest that there were several package updates since 7.0
which made sense to include in 7.1 iso to give a user a better install experience on newer hardware.

7 came out about 2 weeks ago. Now 7.1? The normal procedure is to
publish changes in core/updates, so someone who installed 7 would pick
up those updates (since urpmi updates the system by looking in the
updates section, not looking for changes in core/release.) Whereas 7.1
would have the updated packages in core/release. urpmi --updates looks
only in the updates directories.
putting out 7.1 about 2 weeks after putting out 7 is just making no
sense to me. Can you explain what happened?

Go thou William and catch up on Mageia news. They had problems with installs to AMD's Ryzen 3000 machines unless done by network.
they fixed it in 7.1 so I had to download more isos in case some
one is smart enough to leave Ubuntu behind (in my SF-LUG capacity
as distribution librarian).

anti-typical women??
And I don't blame them a bit. In my experience, there is no such thing
as a "typical" woman. Or a "typical" man.
