Any news about this?

Don't feel like going back to make things work, and unable to use the new features.

The 3D view even at its best quality in the preferences and set to High it has horrible anti aliasing... as in none. Every edge of every prop and avatar are all hard edged. A HD render doesn't have it at least.

This 3D view is making me seasick everything is waving like crazy as the camera pans.

The choices here are...
Peter tells to set something in some settings panel that will fix it
or
off to Feedback tracker.

So I made a comparison, and see the difference.
Both are set for High preview.
If I change it to minimal,  7.6.1 is very fast.   7.7 is still slow.

I dont know if you copied the full log for 7.6 but in 7.7 it seems you have caustics enabled, maybe that is the difference in render times

I'm an not updating until i finish the 2 projects i am working on. So won't be able to check it any time soon. Regarding thw comment you posted in my FT entry check your scene manager to check the visibility of your lights, what you described there seems more like newbie issue than a technical one

I rendered some of my benchmark projects, which I usually do with every new release, but there was no difference.
In your case it is twice as slow (maybe different frame, but still):

1.14  IRAY   rend info : Received update to 00020 iterations after 8.029s.
VS
1.14  IRAY   rend info : Received update to 00020 iterations after 15.965s.

The only thing I noticed is large discrepancy in number of lights:
1.14  IRAY   rend info : Emitter geometry import (85 light sources with 45012 triangles, 1 instance) took 0.02s
VS
1.14  IRAY   rend info : Emitter geometry import (66 light sources with 7316 triangles, 1 instance) took 0.00s

It seems in 7.7 less lights were identified, yet it is slower.

I suggest to submit that project to RL and let them identify why it is rendering that slow.
They know what they have changed and where to look for the potential source of the hiccups.

@Dragonskunk: Try enabling Mipmaps in Preferences?

I see that now yes,
I did 2 tests and both from the same frames

in 7.7  when it's pre rendering for the viewer, I can't use the scrubber to go through the frames,   I can maybe do 1, but then it freezes.  I really need to wait till rendering is done.

idk where I can open a ticket..  I went to a page where you could post something where people can upvote..  not sure if that's the right place

It was already checked.

Cloth fitting on some characters is faulty in the latest release.

I noticed something unusual yesterday when was trying to fit the jacket, but did not pay much attention and ended up editing a mesh.
Today it happened again with the default female. And also I have seen a thread where somebody else reported having difficulties fitting a t-shirt.

So here, I dug up an old project with the default female and then added the same female from current release.

On the right is an *old* default PBR female.
On the left is new default female with Digital Shaders.

Both avatars are in the same pose.
Both avatars and their shorts HAVE "Hide Inner mesh" checked.
Calculate collision in Conform does not do anything.

Note: I did not check other characters and I hope this not a wide spread problem.

If you want to replicate just bring her in and apply 13.Sit_04 ffemale pose in iClone (or some similar pose in Character Creator.)

RL, or anyone, is there a known way to configure locations for materials in a scene. 
I have some scenes that had this in latest release, so I reload the textures and save project. But then each time it keeps asking for D Drive.

I have all my stuff on C, D-drive is used for other stuff outside of iClone....
like FL Studio!.....
