Barry, I dont know why this should be but Wary runs cooler on my system. I have been monitoring this over time, and Lucid runs at around 58 deg while Wary runs at around 50deg. Now, the actual numbers dont matter, but temperature HAS to be a measure of work being done right?
I have been checking it by booting clean, loading Opera, and leaving it open on Yahoo mail, which gives the system some load.
Fascinating.............
Others have reported fast boot times. Overall, Wary must be efficient. No other conclusion is realistic.....

Wary doesn't detect my onboard sound chip....Quirky and older Puppies do...using the non-small iso.

Help would be appreciated.

I still can not resolve the problem of the X crash when plays videos with xv driver. I only find that the problem is with the Libxv maybe sounds obvious but... some one could knows how to fix it??

Oh, very nice!
Mouse pad is smoother and responsive,
Ethernet is faster,
Runs cooler.

May have found a minor bug....
The lower right time thingy says GMT+7, but when I look at set timezone it says it is set correctly at GMT-7

It does not seem to cause any problems though.

Dave take up temperature. Wary5 on my Acer D250 show 27C which is incredibly low. Could not be trusted can it?

How else can one get the temp without installing some pet for it?

I went to system and hardware info. What can I coomand on CLI console?

I am in another puppy now not sure which one. How does one know which puppy one are in? Wary tells with big chars but some of the otehrs don't reveal it at all.

I feel so lost. But this one also says it is 27C and that is not likely true at all.

This is Acer D250 and a newly bought Acer D255 has 46 to 52C or something and this D250 stay on 27 all the time so could something be wrong with the sensor maybe?

Flap, I am embarrassed. Sure that is a good way to find out. I have several such Digital Temp gadgets to use one only need to fix the probe with a tape or something on same distance each time to get a comparable reliable result.

I go by how often the Fan need to cool the CPU down that should indicate if it goes too high.

The D255 engage the Fan more often on same puppy so that means it is less good at keeping itself low temp.

One way to find out what puppy I am in is to go to Help and often teh Dev present what puppy it is there. I found that out today. by accident phew.

Edit. Tested Wary 5 and Fluppy same distance on both to the Digital probe and Wary fast got up to 30C while Fluppy very slowly has reached 30 after some 30 minutes. the room temperature is 23C so Fluppy and Wary runs cool on this acer D250

Which are changes from Wary 104 (RC)?

Except SM and it's scrolling issues, that don't bother me: I switched instantly to Chrome since javascript engine in SM is extreeemely slow (try to write a mail in Gmail and use the link dialog...) but I guess it's just the js engine, not a Wary problem.

Is it worth the update?

Great work anyway!

edit: I tried skiboardsonline forum link in SeaMonkey 2.0.11 but I have no problems scrolling, it's a bit slow in refreshing but it's almost common with that browser, in my opinion.
