Wary Puppy 5.2.2, 18 Nov. 2011
During further testing I've noticed that web pages are very,very slow to load in SeaMonkey.Installed Opera 11.51 with the same result.
Also reported by testers in the Racy thread.

Wary Puppy 5.2.91
The automatic download of the flashplayer didn't work for me. It seems the file was downloaded, but it was an error reported that installation failed.
After that I installed the flashplayer 10 from the Puppy Package Manager. Installation was fine, but using SeaMonkey all web pages with some flash load very very slow. Sometimes delays of 1-2 minutes.
I didn't create any save file and rebooted. Tested SeaMonkey wihtout any flashplayer installed and the web pages are loading at normal speed.

5.2.1.91:
This is different from 5.2.1.90 which fails completely.
Otherwise, same issues with mouse/SM/video as in Racy.
Not quite. Yes it does download, but it reports that it 'did not download' rather than 'failed to install'. Weird.It seems the file was downloaded, but it was an error reported that installation failed.

B43 wifi no longer works
Hi Barry
I regret to have to report that this Wary 5.2.1.91 seems to contain the same new Broadcom B43 firmware as is contained in Racy 5.2.1.91 and as a result does not work with my wifi.
I could see from dmesg that newer firmware was being used. [edit]screenshots of ucode13 properties attached showing different dates and sizes - the April 2008 firmware has been around since pup4.3.1 at least...)[/edit]
I copied the old firmware from Wary 5.2 and my B43 wifi then worked as before.
This is definitely a retrograde step for me - and presumably other B43 owners.
Thanks

new mtpaintsnapshot.sh
I've rewritten mtpaintsnapshot.sh so that the default folder
to save the screen capture image is the clipart
folder. This is a convenient feature for the user.

wary5.2.2 and glxgears
just a little note
using the intel driver, running 1024x768x24bits
observations on glxgears makes me wonder if what frames we are seeing rotating is right or just a subset of the fps being created
fps says it's running at a good speed, but what is being displayed is lousey.
on top of that, on the same machine, a full install runs slower than a frugal install.
however still slow against puppy528 by a factor of 2 or 2.5
