I remember reading through commander changelog when 7.0.0 was out and didn't notice anything breaking for 7.0.0. But, the test had failures.

With 7.1.0 having fixed regressions and the tests succeeding, I'm +1 for merge!

[minrk]

Yup, the only relevant change was moving the parsed options off of the cli object to an explicit getOpts() method. A small change.
