Problems I've had so far:
1.  On FC7, had to go to source to be able to run with legacy Nvidia 
drivers (not really a problem, just new)
2.  Remote frontend freezes and must be killed (never had this before, 
been using Myth since 0.18)
3.  Commercial skip jumps to other SHOW instead of skipping commercial 
(intermittent, still studying, works right most of the time)
4.  Upgrading didn't fix the A/V sync problem I've had on SOME PBS HD shows.

There have been several other issues, but they were simple configuration 
changes (like I had to set Xinerama display to "all" to get it to start 
up with correct screen size).  Thanks again, BTW, to the folks on this 
list who helped!

The pro's that I find VERY useful:
1.  Multiple theme pre-scale cache's.  This really speeds things up when 
you open it on different sized displays.
2. The auto-discovery of backends by the frontend.

Lots of other changes, none of which really changed anything for me, 
personally.  Look through the change log to see if there's anything you 
can't live without!
