This is a production release, the first one in over two years.  We
recommend upgrading to this release if you are currently using 1.0.6 or
an earlier version.

Please read the RELEASE-NOTES in the source code to see if your platform
has been tested with this release.  

Here is "What's New" in 1.0.7:

This release is dedicated to the memory of Edouard G. Parmelan, one of
the most active Kaffe developers, a member of the core team, and one of
the driving forces behind the project.
