Here are what I think are the salient parts of the release announcement
[0].

1.7.0 is a new stable version of libgcrypt.

1.7.0 is API and ABI compatible with 1.6. There are no changed or
deleted interfaces. All the interface changes are from the addition of
new interfaces.

The 1.6 series will "enter end-of-life state on 2017-06-30.

Regardless of whether we replace 1.6 or create a new package, any
changes to libgcrypt should go to core-updates:

$ guix refresh -l libgcrypt
Building the following 706 packages would ensure 1999 dependent packages are 
rebuilt [...]
$ guix refresh -l address@hidden
Building the following 363 packages would ensure 875 dependent packages are 
rebuilt [...]
