I assume you wanted to write "Now NOT having to invalidate...". This 
improvement was added in 2.7.3. You should be aware of everything that 
upgrade docs say when migrating from 2.6 to 2.7 (as you can see not many 
potentially problematic changes). Some of the changes can require 
updates of custom CSSes, if you have them very much self-crafted.

We are working on a 100% bugfix release 2.7.4, it will be out this still 
year. But update to 2.7.4 should just plain simple.

Best,
Krzysztof
