5.2a Release Candidate 1 (5.2.1.0063) is now available

5.2a Release Candidate 1 (5.2.1.0063) is available for download. An RC is considered a stable version.

To update to 5.2a RC 1, run the install from the download link on this thread.

This release includes [highlights of new features]:

Bible Sense Lexicon
Added Adjectives and Adverbs to the Relationships and See Also sections.

My Library

Added "Last Accessed" and "Most Used" columns to the Library Details view. They show the last date a resource was opened and order your resources by most frequently used, respectively.
Added the ability to sort by multiple columns, such as My Tags and Community Tags. Click the first header, then Shift+Click to include more groupings.
Changed the side-by-side Library view icons to use a drop down menu instead.
Implemented the new Cover View, which focuses on looking through the Library by book cover. It is similar to Vyrso's cover view.
In Details view, added right-click menu options for groupings (Collapse/Expand for single item, level, and all).
Tags are now hyperlinked, and will filter the Library for resources with that tag when clicked. Clicking a tag in the Resource Panel Info pane will open the Library with that filter.
The Prioritize button is now implemented as a toggle, which will display/hide the Prioritization panel when clicked.
When adding tags to resources, common tags will now be suggested as you type. Existing user tags will be in bold.

Resource Panel
Implemented verse boundaries to smart selection-enabled Bibles.

Sermon Starter Guide
Added Sermon collection section "Sermons" to the Sermon Starter Guide.
The Sermon Starter Guide can now be added to a link set, and will follow any preaching themes or Bible references in linked panels.

Settings
Added a new setting in the General section "Show Information Tool Tips". Changing the setting to 'No' will disable all word-information tooltips.

Startup
If the program crashes due to a corrupt database file, it will be automatically replaced when restarting Logos. This should automate a common troubleshooting step.

Topic Guide
The "Definition" section of Topic Guides has been renamed "Topic" and lists more LCV resources that were previously excluded for not defining the topic.
The Topic Guide can be added to a link set, and will follow along with any concept references in linked panels.

I am currently at

Logos Bible Software 5.2 SR-6 (5.2.0.0136)

and it will not update to the

5.2a Release Candidate 1 (5.2.1.0063).

I ran "update now" and even tried updating from the support page on the web site. It informs me that everything is "up to date."

Is the update on the way?

This RC is still in beta testing. To update to it on a non-beta installation you must install one of two ways mentioned at the bottom of this page: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/52967.aspx which Dylan gave the link to. Easiest is to use the Logos 5 Windows or Mac link to directly install the new software.

When 5.2a goes live (which it has not yet done) Logos 5 will automatically download the update and notify you it is ready to be installed.

RC-1 is quite stable and if you want to be an early adopter, use one of the two methods mentioned in the linked page above. The Logos web site installer is still on the latest release version of 5.2 (no 'a').

Good work, devs!

Sermon Starter Guide
Added Sermon collection section "Sermons" to the Sermon Starter Guide.

I see it in my Passage Guide, but it doesn't give any results for the passages I've chosen (Romans 1, Romans 8, Genesis 1). What should I expect to see, if anything? What data is it drawing on?

Thanks, Dave. I guess I don't have any tagged resources.
