7.1.0 Release Plan

Our initial 7.1.0 release is mostly focused on making the authentication providers available so developers can authenticate easily and make their own calls to the Graph with a pre-configured client. But we know there is so much more we can do on top to enable developers to do more with Microsoft Graph in their applications. To get you started, we're also releasing new helpers for roaming data between apps using Graph, as well as a variety of Graph powered templated controls for UWP.
