I've just tried them on Linux and Windows. No complaints, no bugs found.
The speed increase in package fetching is big, especially on Windows where
the previous installer is practically unusable since a few months.

So, good job :-)

One question: when these new installers go out of beta, will I have to
reinstall anything or they will update automatically?
