    Whoops, I just checked… There are *TWO* update files for this: one for the Native Client and one large one that, indeed, just behaves like all the other cumulative patches before and has everything.  Sorry for any confusion or "pot stirring."  🙂

    Scott, that's not quite how cumulative updates work. While the KB article for CU #5 only lists the fixes that are in CU #5, I can assure you that it absolutely contains all of the fixes from CU #1, #2, #3, and #4.

    Note, This only contains new fixes, and not the fixes in CU1-4.
