On one of my empegs it didnt go to transient right away, after the upgrade it was stuck to "info: off".
I tried switching it to every different info option and rebooting.
It always came back to "off" except one time when it came back as "transient". I monkeyed around with it some more, and eventually got it stuck back on Off.
I then went back to b7.
On my other empeg (10GB) after the upgrade it was indeed stuck on transient. I did the same switching, but couldnt get it to change to anything other than transient.

All this was with Visuals mode off.
