Just came on for my nightly fix and saw 4.9 has released.  Woot!

I've already installed it on two portals, only 6 more to go.  I must say that I really like the addition of the "What's New" feature under admin instead of having to search all over for the content.

I did notice a bug in the new skin however.  If you have more items in your top level menu (say more than 5, I think) and logged in as host or admin, then the admin and host items fall under the search box instead of wrapping somewhere/somehow (and become unusable -- good thing I used it as a preview instead).  Maybe that skin is intended for very few top-level items?

Great job to the core and keep it up!

I'm really excited about it too!  Congrats to the core team for getting it out.  I know a lot of work went into this release and we're really anxious to start distributing it to our customers.

One common thing I ran into pretty often is that clients complained about the menu broke after you added a few more menu items. Of course, there isn't enough real estate for more items on the menu bar, if they need to add more, they should use the vertical menu.

Another thing is the new default skin is intended for development purposes. Certainly you can use it for production but your web site might look just like... a million other sites.

Yeah, I agree.  I wasn't actually intending on using it, just really curious what it looked like.  I had similar problems with a different site I created and had to split things up (vertical menu, restructuring, etc).  It looks and works great now.

Only 3 more portals left to upgrade... oh wait, I forgot about a few.  Five more to go! (installed on six of my portals now).

 This is where XHTML compliance can sometimes bite you in the butt.  When we first added the search box, we used some CSS hacks to get it positioned correctly.  Unfortunately, while the hacks worked with all the browsers, they would not validate since they used some of the -moz CSS extensions.  The search box CSS was updated to make it compliant.  This change used absolute positioning to place the search box which means that content will be pushed underneath the search box (as you saw with the host menu).  We'll look at how we can improve this for 5.0 which will use the same skin with a few more upgrades.
