Common Live changes from 8.1b5 to 8.1b6
Improvements

Several improvements for the AxiomPro surface controllers
Double clicking on the clip panel in the detail would show the that clip in Session/Arranger
Showing missing files in status bar when loading/dropping Max device presets

On Mac OS X, using a Remote SL and loading a particular Live set with a Fab Filter Twin 2 would crash Live
On Mac OS X, the Key stroke handling for AudioUnits using Cocoa views would not work properly
Replacing a Macro mapping with a Key mapping could crash Live [5913]
Return track header selection would not work properly [5677]
On Mac OS X, Audio Units, wrapped by Novation Automap, would not appear in the right folders
Setting an MTC start offset to a negative value would not show the value properly
Grabbing and moving the left edge of an Arranger loop while the loop start is out of the view would not behave properly
In the Arranger, scrolling would not work properly when dragging or moving tracks
Under certain conditions, the LFO of the Sampler would not work properly
Switching banks via remote script would not be indicated in the status bar [5969]
The 'Ctrl/Cmd R' shortcut hint for the 'Rename' command is missing in certain context menus [5965]
In KEY/MIDI learn mode, selecting right of the last device would still still learn the last device [5914]
Under certain conditions, a folded group track would not display the overview for contained clips
Unsupported multi channel audio files would crash Live [5995]
When exporting an video file, the resulting video file would grow on each export instead to be replaced [5996]
Switching on track-solo would not work properly in exclusive mode when switching via the APC [5838]
Searching within the device browser could lead to a non-reactive state of Live [5835]
Tweaking a device parameter would turn off the hot-swap mode [5703]
In the MIDI editor, undoing a note stretch action would not reset the marker [5971]

On Mac OS X in the Save dialog, when typing the name of an existing file, but without the extension, Live would overwrite the existing file without asking for confirmation. Similarly, when typing a different extension (e.g. 'Foo.txt'), Live would silently change that to 'Foo.txt.als', also without asking. Now you get the proper dialogs in both cases.
