Notifications are going out now, and 7.2 will be in your hands shortly. There are many really great improvements in this release; from the OS style Menus, new additions to the MenuStyleManager class, and of course the new ReportWriter.  I’ve posted blogs on most of these, you can use these links to review them or just check the “Clarion News” category;
