FirstRate5 v5.2.2a (3.13) is now available as a free download from www.fr5.com.au.
This is a minor bug fix release that fixes an issue that caused some internal walls to have their wall type changed after saving and reopening the project file. This also had the potential to cause rating discrepancies between local and website calculations. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.

Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure certificates are produced with the appropriate version. If a user chooses to inappropriately use an earlier version of FR5 to produce a certificate, they run the risk that a Building Surveyor will reject the certificate leading to further certificate costs.
Note: Installation of minor releases involving a letter change, eg, v5.2.2 (3.13) to v5.2.2a (3.13), will by default overwrite the previous version, while major releases involving a number change, eg, v5.2.1 (3.13) to v5.2.2 (3.13), will by default install beside older versions.
