My review of the current release:
This release of CM7 boots up extremely fast and so does it shut down.
There should be a patch laying around somewhere for the Wi-Fi problem, it seems that once turned off, you get some Error message showing up there. A temporary solution that replaces the "reboot trick" is to type in the following text in the Terminal Emulator (you get that with CM7)

The screen problem with rotating the screen seems to have been fixed, so it rotates pretty normal now.
With the inclusion of the HW libs recently released by Broadcom, this release has become much more faster and smoother in animations and such. Some games still seem to have problems being played though.
I've tested networking and it's working 100%. I can use my packet data, I can make and receive calls, same for messages.
From time to time some weird screen glitches might occur so to fix that, rotate the phone to landscape then back to portrait and it should be gone.
I PMed whitexp about the Angry Birds problem and he told me to use a higher version of the game and it works fine unlike version 2.1 for example which freezes after 10 seconds.
It seems most apps work without a problem but the same doesn't go for games. Cut the Rope freezes, Doodle Jump is all messed up, Pou freezes aswell, etc.
Another thing I've noticed is the huge lag when multitasking with the music player working on the background. Once you start a song and minimize it, the performance becomes quite awful and atleast 10 times my music paused by itself or it just stopped and the icon in the status bar just disappeared, but that may be because I didn't have Focus loss ducking option enabled, will see what happens later today.
Don't know if DSPManager has anything to do with slowing down the performance as it used to have a similar issue on stock roms atleast for me.
This latest build seems very stable and I personally am going to stick with this ROM as it's good enough now for daily use. I mean, you've got internet 100% working both WiFi and packet data. Calls, messages, some games, apps, etc.
Problems I noticed:
- Bluetooth still hasn't been fixed.
- Camera still displays a white screen for previewing, it can take shots without a problem though. Videos cannot be made.
- Still no automatic media scanning, you need to use Meridian Player's rescan feature to do so.
- Bad headphone support.
