Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 5:57 pm
Hi folks,
we just uploaded a beta version of the upcoming bug fix update Live 5.0.3.
This beta is free for every Live 5 user.
Use the following links to download the beta:

Please send all beta related feedback to beta@ableton.com.
Current version: Live 5.0.3b4
Expire date: 2005-12-14
This beta has the following some limitations:
- No manual is included
- No content is included
This beta also has enabled our bug reporter.
You will notice it when restarting Live after experiencing a crash.
Furthermore the Windows version has additional debug code to dump
information into the log file. Therefore the Windows version is a bit
slower as the final version (something between 5% to 15%).
When starting live 5.0.3b4 for the first time it should open the Beta lesson
which also contains the change log.
Kind Regards,
Alex
