Apple releases bug fixing Final Cut Pro 5.1.3
Apple - Support - Downloads - Final Cut Pro 5.1.3
from the PDF:
Render File Compatibility
Render files created on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macintosh computers now work properly on either type of computer.
Keyboard Layout Issues Resolved
Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 adds several commands to the default keyboard layout that were missing in the previous version.
Issues with Cross Dissolves in Nested Sequences Resolved
Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 resolves cases in which cross dissolves did not work as expected in nested sequences containing still images with adjusted motion parameters.
That's all they say...
UPDATE:
Colorista has a UI problem that makes it inoperable, Wes of Automatic Duck says there are problems -Duck Support Blog has details on that.
My advice - hold off a few days in general. If the above listed fixes a mission critical problem, update but be prepared to go back to earlier version (disk image using Super Duper of your boot drive). If you use Colorista or Automatic Duck, DEFINITELY do not upgrade until there are updated, proven to to work versions.
As always, careful jumping on the upgrade train!

I hope this meager upgrade is evidence of the FCP team working their nuts off on 6 for NAB.
If I don't get an open timeline in 6, and by end of summer, I'm gonna freak.

Nate, by "open timeline" are you referring to the ability to use multiple/mixed formats and sources on the same timeline? If so, I wholeheartedly agree, that's a feature LONG overdue.
We ran into just that issue when editing that Mustang GT spec for the Pro Gripper Quad review. Suprisingly, you can actually get away with using short 1080i HDV clips in a 720p DVCPROHD timeline...as long as you are doing simple cuts and transitions, and nothing special. Or maybe we were just lucky. But if you try anything related to clip speed, things get ugly in a hurry.
But yeah, long overdue.

I would LOVE an open timeline that allows NTSC and PAL. Most open timeline in other apps allow, 60i, 23.98,30P, etc but doesn't let PAL mix with NTSC.
There's some pretty serious math involved in NTSC/PAL mix - it doesn't look likely in my mind.

Conduit is busted, too:
"Any projects that use Conduit will continue to render as they should, but you’ll be unable to access the Conduit Editor because of what appears to be a bug in the FCP FxPlug GUI host."
