It seems that also the redhat-release file has changed.Previously, it was :
[root at centos7 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)

Now it is :
[root at centos-test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (Source)

It is also my opinion that the name CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503.iso is 
rather confusing, it is not immediately evident that it is release 7.1.
I would have prefered the name CentOS-7.1-1503-x86_64-DVD.iso, following 
the previous name convention.
