For those of you not following DataRescue's forums, IDA 5.1 has been released. A few improvements that didn't make it into the official whatsnew (mostly reladed to PalmOS), kindly included by Ilfak in the official distribution:

* Palm Pilot (.PRC) loader
[+] Relocations in data0 and data1 are applied
[+] support for CodeWarrior A4-based data (compressed data1)
[+] support for CodeWarrior multiple code segments
[+] some support for shared libraries (SysLib 'libr' and PRC-Tools 'GLib')
[+] Chunks with native ARM code ('ARMC'), if present, can be loaded separately and ARM processor will be selected
[+] Known UI resources and ARM chunks are skipped unless "Load resources" checkbox is enabled.
[+] checkbox "manual load" disables any linker-specific processing - all segments are loaded as-is and no relocations are applied (except for data0).

* 68K
[+] a4-based references are now recognized if 'A4BASE' name is present (e.g. set by the Palm loader)
[*] more jumptables are recognized
[*] better recognition of long jumps/calls/offsets: pea/addi.l, lea/adda.l, lea/jsr(pc), lea/lea(pc)
[*] fix: some long names in debugging info were not handled correctly
[+] signatures: CodeWarrior 9.3 PalmOS runtime
[+] updated SysTrap calls up to Palm OS 5

So... if you have problems with Palm stuff you know who to blame :)
