Conky broken after update (1.8.2git20111024-1)

I had a feeling this might happen but I went ahead and fired away and sure enough... I use conky for my status bar in dwm and it broke after the latest update. Basically, I was able to fix it by changing execi to texeci in my .conkyrc if that helps anyone else. I also had an issue with some extra spacing with ${downspeed} and ${upspeed}? I can't figure that out but was able to solve it by changing to ${downspeedf} and ${upspeedf}. Otherwise, it seems to work again.

EDIT: I guess it should be execpi instead of texeci. Anyway, that seems to have been fixed in the latest update (1.8.2git20111026-1).

EDIT again: Well it was, until I rebooted... then it crapped on itself and died? FU conky!

Happened to me, the only thing broken on mine is the cpu graphs as you see, making white trailing lines.

cpugraph (cpuN) (height),(width) (gradient colour 1) (gradient colour 2) (scale) (-t) (-l)

without height and width variables mine fail too, but work fine after add it.

${color}${cpugraph 20,250}${color}

Screw it, I just downgraded to 1.8.1. The build failed because of curl but I found a fix for it and included it in the PKGBUILD. Here it is if anybody needs it http://ompldr.org/vYXppNg . And here is the current-power.patch if you need that too http://ompldr.org/vYXppNw

I had similar problem after upgrading. Conky was not showing conkyforecast contents and my calendar positioning was a bit strange. Solved dowgrading to 1.8.1.

Same here.
The problem for me is that scripts launched with execi do not get executed correctly on launch and I get a (null) instead of the expected value. After the first refresh, the values are again displayed correctly.
This happenes on 1.8.2git20111024-1 and 1.8.2git20111026-1. Downgrading to 1.8.1-3 solved this issue.

I changed the execi to texeci and the problem went away for me.
