Hello,

Here's a report of upgrading from 1.7.111 -> 1.7.161.

Ok, got AS version 1.7.142, patched up to 1.7.161 (with some problems,
patch exited with "hunk out of order" error? -- it didn't say that when
I did the patches each separately though).  Compiled, installed.

So far, so good.

Only problem I ran into was that my background image failed to load.
Not really a problem, but I also ended up having the AS banner in the
middle of my first aterm's background (which is transparent)!  It looked
kind of cool at first, but I wanted to get rid of soon enough. :-)

The "known bug" of xv window shifting down at image change has
disappeared (like I expected).

Here's what I have in .xsession-errors:

-------
Detected colordepth : 24. Loading configuration ...AfterStep(non-configurable/0_feel.24bpp:258):unknown function name in function specification [CirculateUp].
.... Done.
accepted module connection
AfterStep:function specification requires "name" in [Nop].
accepted module connection

Detected colordepth : 24. Loading configuration ....... Done.
Detected colordepth : 24. Loading configuration ....... Done.
asetroot: loaded root background for desk# 0 (pixmap   id is 54525953).
-------

The last line may be due to me manually choosing the background again
from Start/Desktop/Pictures.


So no major problems at all or anything, after using this new version
for about 30 mins now. :-)  Anyway, I hope this report is of some use
to someone...


Regards,
Mikko
