At least one person is experiencing bugs here with 1.3
There are odd things going on with the redirects getting partially overlaid onto other content. You are warned. :-)

I'm on 1.3b
Galeon actually, but Mozilla 1.3b for the rendering engine. No problems here. (Once I got it installed.)

Aye, that I am.
After I post a message (so far it's only been replies; I haven't had any top-level messages), my browser kinda hiccups and it looks like [link|http://www.mikevitale.com/images/iwt_error.png|this]. I searched [link|http://bugzilla.mozilla.org|http://bugzilla.mozilla.org] for "redirect" and it came back with 70 bugs filed. I wasn't about to search through all of 'em. This is Moz 1.3 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314) on Red Hat 7.2. I downloaded and installed the RPMs from moz.org yesterday.

Update: didn't happen when I posted that reply
...but for that one, I previewed it first, whereas for the others I hadn't. Hmmm. Interesting.

You might try 1.3b
I leapfrogged right past 1.3 and haven't had any problems.

hmm, didn't notice that
When I tried to install Galeon it said it needed 1.3b, so that's what I installed. Guess I should go get 1.3 and upgrade again. Thanks for the heads up.

confusing, eh?
I realized the numbering scheme last weekend when I downloaded the OS/2 release. I went to unzip it and noticed the last one I'd downloaded was the 1.3b version.
I don't see an "official version scheme" but it can be deduced by looking at the [link|http://www.mozilla.org/releases/|releases]. I see the sequence has been:
1.1a
1.1b
1.1
1.2a
1.2b
1.2
1.2.1
1.3a
1.3b
1.3
I'd prefer they used 1.1alpha, 1.1beta but suspect they were concerned about scaring off users. So now, instead of scaring them off. they just have confused users :-)

Problems with 1.3b
I have encountered some problem with content getting partially written over other content. Clicking on the reload button always fixes the display. I have noted this while working with my article edit029.html, which is a very long page. Rerely notice any problems elswhere.
It has finally fixed the problem with the "back" function (buttons or keystrokes) often not working on IWeThey (never noticed it anywhere else). This has brought up another minor problem. When using the "back" function on IWeThey, the previous screen may not be drawn, leaving a blank white page. Don't know if this is unique to the OS/2 version or not. In any case, the reload button (or keystrokes) draws the page, and it's a lot less anoying than the back button problem was.
Very occasionally a page will be rendered in the wrong font. Once again, "reload" fixes the display.

Partial writing over other content
Seems like a regression to me. There was a series of builds back in the 0.8 days (IIRC) that had that same issue.

Blank page with Moz 1.3 under OS/2
FWIW, I'm seeing that here too. I hit reload and it comes back... it's a bug. I haven't seen the font problem, though.

Occasional blank white page on "back" on WinMe too.
"Reload" button fixes page. Still better that failed "back" on ver 1.2.1

One change in rendering...
It does funny things with a DIV with nothing but an empty P tag pair in it.
I know empty P constructs are discouraged, but it is the only trick I've been able to find that allows me to terminate a set of left floated DIVs on Netscape 4.x without having it mangle the page completely.
Previous versions of Mozilla (and any other browser I've been able to throw at this) ignored the construct as they should and put the next DIV at the left margin, below the floaters.
Mozilla 1.3 sticks the DIV following the empty construct to the right of the floating DIVs instead of going below them...

Another one
'hr' tags are showing a lot more bold than before I upgraded. Text seems to be slightly smaller, too, though that could be a different default font setting. I didn't bother writing down all my defaults beforehand.

mozilla_home is your friend
I have the mozilla_home env var set; it points to my home directory. Moz created a tree under it to hold the user info. When I upgrade, I can zap the program tree, unzip the new version, and be off, with all my settings and email intact.

The problem with that...
... is that often the user setting formats change between releases.
The first thing I usually get asked when I file a bug: "did you start with a clean profile?"

Heh, must be the IBM fetish
for backwards compat. I've been carrying this profile for almost a year now.
Mind you, I do back it up when I'm doing a new one... I'm not crazy.

I always install fresh - then . .
just copy the bookmarks, history and password files from my old profile to the new. That's all I really care about keeping. So far, that's worked fine on Mozilla for OS/2.
