Yes (AFAIK). There is now an 'advanced' section to the <esc> menu where you can set some (Imago is still working on adding the rest of them) of the values that used to be in the pop-up. I sort of liked the pop-up actually but having it integrated is probably the better way to go especially when using ASGS as you only have a certain amount of time to launch the game before ASGS complains. Everything else is set that way so leaving it split does not make sense.

Am I wrong, or is the evil-upper-left-mouse-placement fixed?

Yes, it has been fixed.

You can make it show again by using the safe mode option in ASGS.

I installed the 09.07.20, used Madpeople's beta switcher, and it works fine.

hmm.. just gave it a try. No joy. I followed the instructions linked to by Imago and it didn't work. I got the msv90.dll error (despite unzipping them to the beta folder twice), and yeah, I did unzip the new artwork into the /beta/artwork folder and did the repair critical files (the first time it downloaded stuff, the second time it checked, but I didn't see it download stuff, so presumably it was happy with what it saw). If I run the beta Allegiance directly I get "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect."

On my computer the latest build is working absolutely smoothly (apart from a bug with fraps on which imago is already working). The update to dx9 and the addition of some fancy features gave a youth cure to alleg.
Also someone stated some time ago that r5 shouldn't be released before it was in all ways better than r4 or at least equal, from what I saw there is not much to add for this to happen.
Just more testing on a variety of hardware and configs, so if you think that you testing it won't be of any help, change your mind. It takes 5-10 mins to set it up and mess around with most of the settings.

beta\artwork folder you say?

should be Allegiance\artwork\dev folder for the artwork files just the dll's in the Allegiance\beta folder

Thanks BIGROU. If the only issue so far is with Fraps we are in great shape!
