I haven't seen much of significance in the 'bug thread', but really, in particular in the Off-topic threads, the noise people are making is turning this wonderful community platform in something close to a madhouse!

My OTA upgrade was smooth, having de-installed potentially problematic stuff as a precaution, and I was generally satisfied with the new firmware, although I didn't find much difference in speed or anything. What I really do welcome though is the possibility of getting blue characters by long-press. (Still have to try out skype video.) Scrolling has a somewhat different resistance now, which I also like (but I have seen posts going mad about this minor adjustment).

However, the same evening I encountered a bug, which really made me regret having done the upgrade: PDF reader no longer displaying all mathematical symbols, which for me is very important. But through that I found out that there is a better PDF reader available anyway from maemo.org, namely evince (in extras-devel), and besides I found that I can just replace the standard pdf viewer by its previous version (see the link above).

Qstardict, another application which I used regularly, also was killed by the upgrade, but again, I found a replacement, mstardict, that I now like even better.

One problem that remains (for the moment) is a particular hack in Easy Debian that no longer works, but which is a comparatively minor inconvenience, and for sure temporary, too.

Oh, and I just learned that under the hood there are some important improvements that I might actually need sooner or later, such as PEAP+MSCHAPv2 WiFi authentication

EDIT: The Easy Debian problem is already fixed. Which shows that the maemo.org developers are awesome - even if PR 1.2 does not qualify for such praise.
