Blender continues it's march of updates through tiny little version number updates.
This one is only one hundredth of a unit forward; 2.59. But luckily they still manage to get quite a bit in there. All at your same low low cost of free. Jump to their site for the specific and downloads.

Add the poly reducer from 2.49, please!
The only thing I'm missing from 2.49b is the ability to set the number of loopcuts with numerical input
@dogzer,
There is a decimate modifier in the 2.5x series. Is that what you mean?
There were some essential modeling tools missing last time I checked.. Hope they got them in this version. I'll have to download it this weekend.
there is no point of making the argument of what is better since it really depends on the user and there experiences.
