What's Included in Pro Tools TDM 5.1.3cs2?

Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 contains the following:

Fixed: Importing 44.1kHz files to a 48 kHz session

With Pro Tools 5.1.3, importing one out of every 256 44.1 kHz files into a 48 kHz session failed. With Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2, the files will correctly be converted to 48 kHz and imported to the session.

Fixed: Beat Detective - Conform Strength and Exclude Within

With Beat Detective, errors were found in the functionality of the Conform Strength and Exclude Within commands. These problems have been fixed in Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2.

Fixed: Spot to Timeline with Apple Events Cleared Undo Queue

Certain non-Digidesign applications like Gallery's SampleSearch rely on Apple Events to interface with Pro Tools. With Pro Tools v5.1.x, importing a file via Apple Events could not be undone, making it impossible to undo any changes previous to the import. Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 adds Apple Events to the Undo Queue.

Fixed: Import of OMF Sequence with "Consolidate Source Audio Media" Fails

With Pro Tools 5.1.3, importing an OMF sequence with "Consolidate Source Audio Media" results in "Could not complete the import tracks command because an assertion occurred in "FF_AudioFile.cpp" line 606." With Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2, this option functions correctly.

Fixed: Editing Embedded OMF Sequences

When working from an OMF sequence with embedded media in Pro Tools 5.1.3, if the sequence was opened with "Refer to Source Audio Media Where Possible" instead of "Copy Source Audio Media," there could be irregularities in the editing behavior. Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 fixes these problems.

Fixed: Exporting OMF Sequences with Fades Offsets Edits

With Pro Tools 5.1.3 and DigiTranslator 2.0, sequences exported with Fades had the edits offset by the duration of the fade wherever a fade file existed. Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 fixes this problem so that sessions with fades export correctly to OMF.

Fixed: Machines ID as Generic1

In the Peripherals dialog of Pro Tools 5.1.x, if you query for the machine name multiple times, on rare occasions the machine will identify as Generic1, and not identify correctly afterwards. Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 fixes this problem.

Who Should Use this Update?

Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 can only be used to replace the Pro Tools 5.1.3 application. If you are using an earlier version of Pro Tools, you must first upgrade to Pro Tools 5.1.3, then install the Pro Tools 5.1.3cs2 application. Contact Customer Support for upgrade information.

Will we get these fixes in 5.2 soon, or are these things already fixed in 5.2? I use 5.2 for Rocket/DigiStudio.
Thanks.

Yeah I'm also running 5.2. I suppose the upgrade does not work with these versions?
