@Brett
danke schoen..
I *will test this out q. thoroughly ;-)
on my XAMPP ;-O

Also, if upgrading a test site rather than creating a new one, be sure to update the .htaccess file.

@Cash

I just created a brand new XAMPP localhost "elgg172b" - i believe is the "proper" way to test.. so far everything looks fine.. ;-) I wanna give 1.7.2 a good good kick-test !

The group topics edit/close feature! Thanks! You saved me from my next project!

Upgrading seems fine. Testing it now.

Like Cash said, don't forget to update your .htaccess file after upgrading.  If you changed your .htaccess, add changes to the new .htaccess

Thanks.

Just tried to enable izap plugin,missing token error,won't enable My bad...

I forgot to upgrade the dist_htaccess

Avatar pulldown menu on 'thewire' seems to be stuck - arrow highlights and looks like it's selected - no menu appears.  Same action seems to work everywhere else

In thewire/css find:

.note_body {
    margin:0;
    padding:6px 4px 4px 4px;
    min-height: 40px;
    line-height: 1.4em;
    overflow: hidden;
}

delete: overflow:hidden;

It's not an 1.7.2 bug though, appears in 1.7.1 too.

In Tool Administration, disabling a plug-in gives the message "Plugin successfully disabled" but the Disable button doesn't toggle to Enable and the plug-in remains enabled. Tried with several plugins. Caches are disabled.
