    I note on your download page that there is a link to build 5608. Beyond the following:


    - Accidental video artifacts in virtual machines running in the Single Window mode on Macs updated to Mac OS X v10.5.3 - fixed
    - Incorrect behavior of topmost windows in the Coherence mode on Macs updated to Mac OS X v10.5.3 - fixed

    Is there any other reason that we should upgrade?

    I doubt it
    just sounds like a minor bug fix

    *5650 or *5700 would be major upgrades if they existed
    (they could be in private beta)

    Yes, it was published today.
    It is improvement for 10.5.3 update problem, and Windows in Coherence mode, it is recommended to install it
    Please note, that we are trying to respond quickly as soon as possible

    Thanks!

    (Also, we know that you're doing your best to deal with the issues that cropped up because of 10.5.3).

    update from 5604 to 5608

    I have Leopard 10.5.3 and want to update from 5604 to 5608 since it is recommended, but when I tried to update, I get a message that my software is up to date.

    How do I get 5608?

    Download it from the 'Try Now' (trial) link (the package for upgrade, trial and installation is all the same).

    trying 5608

    If I download build 5608 (trial version) and I install it, will I need to reinstall my Windows XP ....:( or will the new build 5608 just replace 5604?

    No, you will not need to reinstall Windows XP.



    If you plan on upgrading, it is wise to follow these steps:

    1. Follow the steps outlined in this knowledge base document from Parallels:

    http://kb.parallels.com/en/4790

    2. Install Parallels 5608

    3. Ensure that you update Parallels tools in your VMs.

    No problem. BTW, this build works really well. One thing that doesn't appear in the release notes is that USB behaviour is better in this build than in 5604.
