 * having just searched this topic on the forum, surprised there weren’t others 
   similar to this topic: i just received an email saying my 7.0 was automatically
   upgraded to 7.1 which was totally dismissed as spam. somewhere in the forums 
   mentions that there would never be an auto update, agree with that, because important
   to backup files, upgrade your plugins before any update to wp. well i’m 7.1 now.
   what’s up?

 * i clicked your link, thank you. my response in that thread…
 * just read the changes via 3.7.1 and no mention regarding security. not happy 
   with this practice when other items than security fixes are altered… what’s officially
   mentioned is…
 * WordPress 3.7.1 is now available! This maintenance release addresses 11 bugs 
   in WordPress 3.7, including:
 * Images with captions no longer appear broken in the visual editor.
    Allow some
   sites running on old or poorly configured servers to continue to check for updates
   from WordPress.org. Avoid fatal errors with certain plugins that were incorrectly
   calling some WordPress functions too early. Fix hierarchical sorting in get_pages(),
   exclusions in wp_list_categories(), and in_category() when called with empty 
   values. Fix a warning that may occur in certain setups while performing a search,
   and a few other notices. For a full list of changes, consult the list of tickets
   and the changelog.
 * If you are one of the nearly two million already running WordPress 3.7, we will
   start rolling out the all-new automatic background updates for WordPress 3.7.1
   in the next few hours. For sites that support them, of course.

 * I’ve deleted your response in that thread – it’s resolved and it’s not your thread.

 * If you don’t want updates, you can disable them – though it’s not recommended–
   did you look at the link on doing so?
