Yes, we're a day early this time! Thanks so much to Matthew East for
all of his work on the new theme! There's still a few more things to
work on (anyone want to help Matthew with the installation-guide
theming?) but it looks a lot more like 2012 than the previous theme.

I think you're saying that the HTML works a little bit better than the
PDF version.

I see a warning in Chromium also, but I also don't know why.

Yes, I noticed this bug also. Unordered lists (bullets) are being
shown as ordered lists (numbered). That applies even to
https://help.ubuntu.com/ where the list of releases is supposed to be
just bullets.
