RKWard 0.7.1 release candidate is available

[David Faure]

Hello Thomas,

If RKWard is being released, shouldn't it move out of playground?

repo-metadata/projects-invent/education/rkward/metadata.yaml says
    projectpath: playground/edu/rkward

which means kdesrc-build isn't building it by default.

Once it moves to kdeedu we can list it in 
kdesrc-build/kf5-applications-build-include and it will benefit from being 
compiled by more people (which helps detecting issues, and gaining more users 
among KDE developers).

Cheers,
David.
