(To clarify, v1.5.2 is a collection of bugfixes for v1.5.1 and a number of improvements already built-in to the upcoming v1.6.0. It is being released as an interim step between 1.5.1 and 1.6.0 to cover the gap of PA-DSS requirements updates to the v2.0 specifications, since the old 1.1 specifications have been set to "sunset" status. It also allows the v1.5.x series to survive onto PHP 5.4/5.5. See the whatsnew_1.5.2.html in the zip for full details of what's included.)

A handful of reported issues have been addressed and incorporated into an updated RC2 zip:
