update: hashcat v7.1.1 released
https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/releases/tag/v7.1.1

changelog:

* changes v7.1.0 -> v7.1.1

##
## Improvements
##

Docker: Add initial support for AMD GPUs when running Hashcat inside Docker using HIP and OpenCL
Hardware Monitor: Suppress fan speed warnings for unified memory setups (typically internal GPUs)
Testing Framework: Enable hardware monitor to improve testing of memory-heavy algorithms
Unit tests: Updated install_modules.sh to use an external module for Digest::MD6

##
## Bugs
##

- Fixed multi-hash handling in LUKS2 and KeePass (KDBX4), while single-hash remained unaffected

* changes v7.0.0 -> v7.1.0

## Improvements
##

- Attack-Modes: Use 64-bit counters for amplifier keyspace
- Host Memory: Update method to query free host memory using /proc/meminfo when available
- Docker: Add initial support for running hashcat inside Docker
- Device Memory: Warn instead of waiting on high GPU memory usage
- Backends: Enhanced AMD Windows OpenCL and HIP compatibility for legacy models
- Rules: Add early syntax check for -j and -k rules
- Device Memory: Do not disable hwmon interface by default in speed-only and progress-only mode
- JSON output: Refactor Bridge unit reporting for clarity
- Backends: Ignore devices from Microsoft OpenCL D3D12 platform
- Building: Add MAINTAINER_MODE flag to disable hardcoded CPU optimization flags

##
## Bugs
##

- Fix broken JSON formatting when using the --status-json flag
- Fix issue where -k single rules were ignored when used with -a 1 and -S

##
## Python Bridge
##

- Fix unsalted hashlist support
- Fix the esalt structure, it was too large
- Improve support from 1:1 password-to-hash to 1:N password-to-hashes
