Released 1.7.1

The biggest issue was the construction of an asyncio.Semaphore() while the
default loop is alive, and then creating a new loop on win32.

I've also taken the opportunity to explicitly pass our loop to some calls,
rather than expecting them to use the correct one automagically, and added
some more explicit timeout handling to the semaphore usage.

 ## Version 1.6.4 (2017-04-21)
 
-- Added file exclusion filter for Flamenco. A filter like "*.abc;*.mkv;*.mov" can be
+- Added file exclusion filter for Flamenco. A filter like `*.abc;*.mkv;*.mov` can be
   used to prevent certain files from being copied to the job storage directory.
   Requires a Blender that is bundled with BAM 1.1.7 or newer.
