Wow, that new Messages cover is absolutely terrible. On par with the Notes cover for 'worst idea in the history of Sailfish'. I like that it now adapts what's visible on the cover to the length of the sent/received messages, but that white background... why. In fact the white background is not even the worst thing about it, that award goes to the ALL-CAPS NAMES.

Something else I don't like is that going from the lock screen to the home screen now shows an unnecessary fade-in animation which blocks you from doing anything else. Going from lock screen to an open application doesn't do this, however.

The flashlight switch doesn't really seem to work.

I don't get the new Salamander ambience considering it's just a red version of Freedom, and there's no salamander on there.

Accounts seemed to be broken but restarting Settings made it work again.

The fonts look slightly different, except in Terminal where they look very different (and not in a very good way).

I do like the redesign of some icons in the media player and Documents, the basic file manager in Settings (it also works for internal storage, but you have to access it from the pulley menu) and the character count for SMS (at last!).

Now I'm curious if sounds suddenly stopped working or if it's just my speaker acting up again. Great news! Sounds were just broken until reboot. No idea why, but it works again, so I'm happy.

Edit: in fact, the problem seems to be the flashlight switch! If the flashlight is on (or if the system thinks the flashlight is on), sounds are off! What, why, how? This doesn't happen when using the flashlight switch from OpenRepos, which always works and doesn't mute all sounds while it's on.
