You should read the following documents that are in git.git: Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.1.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.2.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.3.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.5.txt Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.6.txt And make sure that none of the changes mentioned there will affect you negatively. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
