http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/razor/razor-agents-2.71.tar.gz?download

Here are orginial release notes for 2.70:

This is an IMPORTANT bugfix and accuracy release. I recommend
everyone upgrade as soon as possible. If you are a package
maintainer for Razor Agents, I'd strongly recommend building and
releasing a new package.

Here's the changelog: 

    * Fixed preprocessing of unusual HTML messages. This
      resolves the segfault issue in razor-agents. 
      [Bug #1001417]

    * Fixed handling of certain malformed headers.

    * Explicitly specify the record separator as "\n" when
      reading files, to ensure that someone else hasn't set it
      to undef. [Patch #537813]

    * "razorzone" is no longer supported and has been removed
      from the documentation.

    * Allow the config file to set razorhome. [Bug #1074391]

    * Razor Agents no longer go into an infinite loop when
      discovery fails. [Bug #1016039]

    * Properly creates "razor-*" symlinks after installation.
      [Bug #874468]

    * Default to PERLPREFIX instead of PREFIX when installing
      man5 pages. [Bug #1001320]

    * Removed a call to $sha1->reset() which was breaking SHA1
      calculation. [Bug #1004858]

    * "use_engines" is no longer supported and has been removed
      from the documentation. [Bug #1120311]

    * Shuffle the discovery, catalogue, and nomination
      server lists after loading them from disk; this
      prevents razor-agents from always starting with the
      same catalogue server.

    * Replace the complex DNS lookup logic for discovery servers
      with a single DNS round robin. [Bug #604679]

    * Remove the ICMP ping logic for finding the "fastest"
      catalogue server; the configuration option for this logic
      is now ignored. [Support #739464]

    * Removed stale engine code for various signature types that
      are no longer used.

cheers,
vipul
