The only thing I notice is that the buffer name is no longer in bold

There seem to have been some major change there. The doc string for
mode-line-buffer-identification says that the default value is ("%12b")
which no longer seems to be true. That seems like a documentation bug.
Michael, why does viper modify this variable? It sets it to (" %b"). Is
this necessary?
good question. Probably a workaround of something in an old version of emacs.
I commented out
(setq-default mode-line-buffer-identification '(" %b"))
in viper.el, and it seems that everything is still fine.
(I don't see any difference on my system, but I hope you see them on yours).
