I use url_title for certain database fields which are used to access the pages in a safe way. Therefore I often use url_title('the end of all things...') which in 1.7 resulted in 'the-end-of-all-things...' now, in 1.7.1, the url_title function results in 'the-end-of-all-things'.
To fix this I ran this query a few times against the database to get rid of the periods at the end.
Code:
update [tableName] set [fieldName] = substring([fieldName], 1, length([fieldName])-1) where [fieldName] like "%.";
Hope this helps someone out.
