A new stable release of FieldWorks (FieldWorks 5.2) is now available: 
http://fieldworks.sil.org/stable_download.htm 

New features in Language Explorer are: 
*       Text chart for discourse analysis of constituents (LTR languages only - see Known Issues in FLExReadMe.) 
*       Concord on specific morphemes, analyses, etc (via right-click/context menu options) 
*       New columns in Lexicon for filtering Lexical Relations, Examples, and Translations of Examples 
*       Configure which writing systems you wish to display in each field (via field menu) 
*       Change spelling of a word across numerous texts (user interface will undergo future changes.) 
*       Import (with limited merge capability) and export lexicons in the LIFT XML format 

New features in Translation Editor are: 
*       Added Editorial Checks view to Checking tab. This view currently only has a Repeated Word check, but other checks are being worked on. 
*       Improved print layout views to support the following: widow/orphan line handling, keep together/keep with next paragraph handling and footnotes combined into one or two paragraphs depending on footnote settings. 
*       Improved Key Terms display by making reference list sortable and allowing key term list to be either moved or collapsed so that it takes up a minimal amount of screen space. 

New feature in Data Notebook: 
*       'Find in Dictionary' is now available in all views, and the Tools menu. 

In all FW programs we have fixed many reported problems.
