Thanks so much - excited about the new release. Thanks to you and the rest of the team and testers.

I asked Jerry yesterday if I would need to re-install fluxbox-RC1 and he said not likely because the change to the new one would be the installer (was black with white lettering) and localization's with the menus.

The Installer changes will come through regular updates, apparently, since I had an update this morning. But the MXFB changes will only show up if you create a new user, and they are now somewhat more significant than they were when I wrote yesterday. With User Installed Packages and reusing home a new installation would be downright simple.

Thank you very much!

Ah, while I was writing this, the discussion kind of already went to this direction :) ... So yeah, I was going to ask, if one has a fully functioning test system already migrated from MX-21 to MX-23 beta 2, can the RC1 updates be received in a regular fashion through the repos / MX Package Installer? Regarding the whole system, not just Fluxbox (which incidentally is what I'm using, in any case, as well!)

So if there were any problems with the RC1 that is on the mirrors now, you would pull them and replace it?

"If you have downloaded a RC1 release before announced, there is a possibility they will change before the announcement"

Seems clear enough

Not sure if this completely answers your question, but I asked a similar one in the beta forums.

No, the beta releases will not upgrade automatically to the final release.
