The new background rotation feature is set by default to go through the branded wallpapers.

To stop: Menu > Appearance > Desktop icons, double click "Set background rotation" and follow the direction at the top.

Updated MX-Fluxbox packages have started coming now through the repos. Remember to click

Menu > MX Fluxbox to get them copied to your /home folder.

Go to ~/.restore/fluxbox/ to copy and paste back any existing items you want to keep as you had them before the update.

If you use the Utah Salt Lake City repos (switch to them with mx-repo-manager if you want), you should be safe.

Mirrors will catch up over the next 12 hours or so.

Thanks and sorry about that!
