I will miss the Gzip encoding... I'm doing this upgrade and I don't know if I'm on one of those "environments" yet.
On another issue...
I think the URL "blog.com/categories" should have a default page with categories and their descriptions, just like "blog.com/archive" does show something.
I made something like this in the past for an older version of s9y, but I stopped making this time consuming mods since I upgrade very often...
I know now this should be piece of cake now using the "externalphp plugin", but still it would be a nice default feature for s9y.
Have the png's been tested with IE? All the PNG seem to causing trouble.
They appear for a very short period of time and are then replaced by the blank.gif.
Terribly annoying.
It looks OK in Firefox though... it just occurred to me that readers might not have Firefox.
The "environment" are those which have usetranssid activated; those use an internal outputbuffering with which our method of gzip encoding does not cooperate.
About the categories, yes actually this would be best done with a plugin-mod. It really isn't that hard, but already the categories sidebar describes a list of all categories? You may also want to look at the customarchive plugin, it may be interesting for you.
Mike, actually the PNGs should work fine in the non-standard compatible Internet Explorer if:
you have JavaScript activated
the serendipityeventbrowsercompatibility plugin is loaded
your serendipityHTTPPath and baseURL path settings contain the same values like you use to view your Blog with (else the IE complains about security issues)
You may occasionally once need to refresh your page and make sure that CSS/JavaScript contains no errors.
I agree it's really annoying and am looking forward when PNG transparency finally gets implemented into Internet Explorer, which other browsers have succeeded with about 4 years ago.
With the update to 0.8, the ability to mirror posts on Livejournal through a XML-RPC plugin, my new custom theme, spam blocking on those "poker" comments and trackbacks, the blog list notices, and increasing number of useful plugins... Well, I use gzip, but I won't quibble over it ;)
Been using Serendipity since the 0.6 versions - I have no regrets about that choice today.

I'm really sorry for that inconvenience. :-(
