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.

Well, we are now using a new naming convention .. although, we have
update /etc/cetnos-release/

This naming convention was voted on by the CentOS Board and discussed on
the CentOS-Devel mailing list.  It is what we are using moving forward.
 Please become familiar with it,as we do not expect to change it again.

Can you please point me to the centos-devel thread that discussed
changing the iso naming convention from CentOS-7.1-1503-x86_64-DVD.iso
to CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503.iso?  I must have missed it because I saw
no mention of this change until today.

After Karanbir answer, the redhat-release file has indeed changed after 
a new 'yum update'. It it now :
[root at centos-test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

Thanks. It could indeed impact such tools as Dell OMSA ant a lot others 
I think.
