The bug is this:
RW 7.1 “lazy” loads the pages. This means some of the pages are still asleep when after you open up the file.
When you change a partial, those sleeping pages don’t notice the change and stay sleeping.
If you visit those pages, they will wake up and see the new partial info and notice any further changes.
So on a small file where you’ve likely visited all the pages, then things pretty much behave just like they did prior to 7.1.
I think a workaround for this, although cumbersome, is to choose Cmd-Shift-M – Mark all Pages as Changed – that will force RapidWeaver to look for changes in each page.
If a page has no changes, it don’t upload. This is far from ideal, but hopefully a viable workaround until me and the guys from RW sort out a way to handle this in the new RW 7.1 API.
