This release is a bugfix/hotfix release for 0.52a, and so doesn't contain any significant new features.

Changes as of May 06, 2012

Ship AI:

Carriers and fire support ships stay out of trouble better, don't get distracted from moving to the designated rally point

Admiral AI:

Won't immediately retreat if it was willing to engage in battle on the campaign screen

Miscellaneous:

Tabbing out while in fullscreen mode will turn off the sound
Added extra row to reserves list in the fleet deployment dialog
Weapon flux/second numbers in the refit screen now list the sustained (not burst) flux use for charge-based weapons
Plasma Cannon and Antimatter Blaster now generate flux when they fire (instead of as they charge), and will no longer try to fire when there isn't enough flux
Crash stack trace now appears at the end of the logfile, instead of before the performance data

Modding-related:
