Here are the release notes:
Version 4.5.3.2
* (Mac) Added support for as-shot RAW rendering using ImageIO on Mac OS X 10.5.3 for the Nikon D60, Olympus E-3, and the Sony DSLR-A200 and DLSR-A350.
* (Mac) Restored speed of browsing and ingesting flash cards due to Mac OS X 10.5.3 update.
* Added support for reading Nikon's frame number from maker notes of newer cameras.
* Added the ability to synchronize the color class value with the IPTC/XMP Urgency field. This provides color label compatibility support for Nikon Capture NX 2 and other applications that use the IPTC/XMP Urgency field for non-standard purposes.
* Sound files (.WAV) that are named "SND_xxxx.WAV" are now attached to photos that have the same frame number as part of their filename (e.g. "IMG_xxxx.JPG").
* (Win) Fixed issue in IPTC Info dialog where there were two date controls instead of a single date and single time control.
* (Win) Holding down the Shift key when opening the Page Setup dialog causes the current Default Printer to be acquired.
* Ingest now ignores folders that begin with a period ('.').
* The IPTC Info dialog now correctly saves the IPTC Date and Time when set to Capture Time or Modification Time.
* Applying an IPTC Stationery Pad with Capture Time or Modification Time now works properly. Doing so now also sets the IPTC Time as well as the IPTC Date.
* Spaces are now inserted between the command and the next keyword in the Keywords field.
* The JPEG quality setting now works properly on the entire set of Uploader templates.
* (Win) Fixed problem with cursor positioning when using Code Replacement on a text field with multiple lines.
* (Mac) Fixed a problem with temporary filenames being too long when copying photos to a Windows server using AFP.
* (Mac) On Leopard, applying the Color Class via keyboard shortcut would apply the setting multiple times. This has been fixed.
* (Mac) The Color Class snapshot button in the General tab of the Preferences dialog now works correctly.
* (Mac) Fixed a problem in Save As where the saved filename would have a .JPG.TIF extension when TIFF was the chosen output and the source was a RAW photo of a RAW+JPEG pair.
* (Win) Structured keywords help file is now correct.
* Sorting by {lens} now works properly for focal lengths greater than or equal to 100.
* Added code to recover from missing settings data from Export and Uploader templates.
* XMP settings for Adobe Camera Raw are no longer embedded into JPEGs (e.g. when updating XMP from a RAW file to its JPEG pair).
* XMP sidecar files are no longer transferred when FTP As is used on a RAW file to upload a JPEG or TIFF.
The beta expire date is August 31st 2008. We expect to have the final 4.5.3.2 version out by that date.
