Next 5.2 beta is online: Live 5.2b4!

[Alex]

Hi folks,

we just uploaded another beta version of the upcoming Live update/upgrade 5.2.
This beta is free for every user.

On Windows and OS X (Power-PC) you can unlock this beta with your
Live 5 serial number.

On OS X (Intel) or if you do not own Live 5 you can unlock this beta version
using the beta serial number provided on the beta website.

Check the beta website to download the version: www.ableton.com/beta
or if you have a previosu Live 5.2bx beta use the "Check for Updates"
entry from the help menu.


Please send all beta related feedback to beta@ableton.com.


Current version: Live 5.2b4
Expire date: 2006-03-05

This beta versions has these limitations:
- No manual is included
- No content is included
- No japanese language support is included


This version 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 5.2b4 for the first time it should open with the Beta
lesson which also contains the change log.


Kind Regards,
Alex
