A few observations:

The public version seems to have "swipe down to close" in the gestures options? Without any patches. Falling-away animation is fun!

I really like all the new transitions etc. The pulley select one needs to be significantly faster though (but not removed entirely).

Unlock - time needs to appear at the same time as the fade, not after it. I like the animation, again, but it needs to be tightened.

Events swipe-from-left is a bit of a finger-stretch - if there's an option to make L and R swipes do different things, ideally there'd be a toggle for swapping them (inc. for left-handed users)

I like that you can now launch loads of apps at once from the launcher without loaded apps stealing focus.

Can't remove sailfish-tutorial "politely" as it wants to remove a load of other (essential) packages with it!

Glad that feeds and especially toggles in Events will be in the next version - @coderus you must be pleased and relieved at the same time!
