Erm... I'm listing them with *every* new 1.7 announcement and I try to keep it fresh with every change made. But you're right, it might be a good thing to add this to the official docs at one point. > Is there anything to know about upgrading from 1.5 to 1.7? Yes, it's pretty stable, but it's still a test release. The really new stuff from a pure user POV are all the changes to the path handling (long paths, case sensitivity, /etc/fstab), the new methods for user authentication and last but not least IPv6 support. I suggest to read the new docs really carefully. It's quite a bit of change.
