Depends on when you downloaded the ALPHA stuff. Most userland-level
changes have been bugfixes (well, ok, they _have_ to be bugfixes in order
to be pulled onto the branch). If you have the most recent ALPHA
snapshot, not a whole lot has changed. If you picked up the earliest
ALPHA snapshot, this upgrade might be worth it.
BTW, when you say "I'm still working on getting my 1.3_ALPHA system to be
stable", what's unstable about it?
Later.
