New update tonight

http://www.reaper.fm/download.php

The one that stands out because I've seen bitching here about it:
Count-in: follow tempo and time signature at play start position, not prior to it



Version 4.02 Changelog
Mouse modifier magnificence

Mouse modifiers:
support draw/edit/ramp CC events when starting the edit over a CC event
added contexts for arrange view middle-click, middle-drag, edit cursor handle
many new options for marquee zoom, restore zoom, browser scroll, scrub/jog behaviors
better preservation of pre-existing user customizations
behaviors to move item edge without changing fade-in end or fade-out start time
better behavior when assigning mouse click to actions like "move item to cursor"
control+right-click creates a time selection by default (as in 3.x)
MIDI editor:
fixed bad behavior when drawing over existing CC events with snap enabled
fixed horizontal zoom with mouse cursor center, when using project-synced timebase
avoid accidental time selections in ruler
support negative swing quantize
fixed possible oddness when editing CC with auto-select CC enabled
Project bay:
use file resolving when loading retained items
show error message when move/copy file fails because the target file already exists
list tracks by name
fixed drag/render-drag of multiple items on OSX
Envelopes:
allow editing initial envelope point regardless of editing preferences
option to add transition point when recording automation while playback is stopped
clicking on an envelope point no longer seeks playback
MIDI:
fixed stuck notes when looping
renaming one pooled take renames all pooled takes
Project settings:
reorganization, more sensible layout hopefully
added track mixing bit depth configuration
Count-in: follow tempo and time signature at play start position, not prior to it
Directory cleanup: ignore files that are retained in project bays
Media explorer: added action to close media explorer
Nudge: actions to nudge item contents apply only to the active take (similar to slip editing)
ReaSurround: continue to increase FX IO count when dragging IO from tracks
Render queue: fixed display of time-selection renders
Samplitude EDL: support for offsets/lengths greater than 2 billion samples
Scrub: avoid senseless jogs after edit cursor moves
Slip editing: fix for possible hang
Stem rendering: faster, does not process irrelevant tracks, option in prefs/rendering for old behavior
Volume displays: fixed display of certain gain values in default theme
VST: fixed preset selection when there are multiple factory presets with the same name
Windows Aero: keep always on top pins out of window list when REAPER non-responsive
Zoom: fixed display of item backgrounds with very zoomed in and long project times
Zoom/scroll: now has a stack of recent zoom/scrolls, added actions to restore previous/next
 
I don't use comping extensively, but I did not have a single problem migrating. Besides, you can always downgrade if it doesn't work for you, Reaper won't mess your files (unless you re-save them), right?
 
No probs upgrading here, had alot of takes in many projects and it looks/is the same.

Thankful they finally added that count in tempo feature.
 
at risk of sounding like the biggest idiot in the world, what does everyone mean by comping? I imagine composing? What does that have to do with upgrade issues?
