Poem

🐰 Hop hop, the versions leap anew,
From 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 we flew,
Docs, tests, and gradle all in line,
A tiny bump, a tidy sign,
I nibble bits and celebrate — hooray! 🎉

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title 'Release/1.7.0' is related to the changeset but is generic and doesn't convey the specific nature of the release (protocol version 6, LiveObjects updates, ACK-based operations, partial sync, MAP_CLEAR support).
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.

"io.ably:ably-java:1.7.0" so both snippets match and avoid mixed-version
