New features and better algorithms are great, but does anyone know if
they've fixed any bugs in this release?  Things like

The rotated text bug on Macs where labels on the y-axis of frames are
garbled.

The instability in large eigenvalue calculations, which sometimes make
it impossible to interrupt the kernel and other times cause the kernel
to unexpectedly quit.

The "feature" where Mathematica uses a non-standard character
encoding, so that text in graphics is garbled when imported into some
other programs, like Illustrator.

I'm excited about cluster analysis, but I can't bring myself to fork
over any more money to Stephen Wolfram until simple problems which
have existed for years are fixed.
