Easily first.

Carry over from v5. 42, also in v5.5

Auto-assigned research causes "Expand Civilian Economy by 20%" to only have initial 20000RP project if computer picks it (unknown if computer doesn't pick it).   This causes the entire research line to forever be lost (minus database manipulation).

Manually picking that 20000RP project and giving Instant does not cause issue.

Steps:
1) Create new game.
2) Give 5000 starting pop and choose tech auto-assign. Don't need to change anything else.
3) Proceed through new game setup
4) ??????
5) Profit is hard to come by

Edit:

Actually, there are potentially more issues with that research project.  After granting creating a new game and granting the 20kRP project, then deleting that game, when I open a new game the first project in that line available is 40kRP.  Granting this, deleting game, and creating new one and it's at 40kRP again.

Possibly connected with above:

Version 5.5

In the Class Design (F5) screen:

The visual weight in the Full Summary View is not correct for some classes. 

It's showing a weight much less than the Exact Class Size (which appears to be correct)

Reproduce:
1) Create new game with no auto-tech or auto-ship
2) Open Class Design screen
3) Create New ship.
4) New ship size will be listed as 63 tons.

Incorrect version naming:

Aurora.exe file, in both the properties of the exe and the versioning in the 'About' window and also the 'Opening' window, are set to 5.42 and not 5.5 version.

I say the correct version has been packed but the version numbers not been updated.

Error on creating new game

Error in Setup NPRClasses

Error 3201 was generated by DAO.Recordset
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Techsystem'.


I had this issue in 5.42 as well, you click 'OK' four times with this message appearing four times, but it eventually makes a new game.

Two designs with identical components have different weights. The only difference between the two is the classing as commercial or military vessel (here grav and geo survey sensors respectivly).
In the case of the commercial vessel the engines and the jump drive seem to be significiantly lighter, although the speed and 'exact class size' is calculated correctly. The TCS is different, however.
Haven't built these designs yet so I don't know if this is just a visual bug with weight or perhaps connected with the speed issues mentioned by Erik.

*edit*
I've tried exchanging the engines (for ion engines) and the military/commerical classification reason to weapons. In both cases the weight was calculated correctly for the military vessel. I don't know the code, but I guess this pins  the reason down to be something with the classification.

*edit2*
Applied speeds during surveys etc. match that of correctly calculated weight, if I look at the ship details (F6) the max speed is however listed as 24096 km/s (Zambia II class).

In F12 the speed seems to be the correct one (6024) unless clicking on the ship in F6:
The Zambia II 001 I checked for its max speed can now fly at 24096 while the Zambia II 002 I haven't yet clicked in F6 can only fly at 6024.
Activating the Zambia II 002 in F6 allowed it to fly 24096 km/s which it now does automatically if I give it any orders.

Yes, that is what has happened. A common error on my part :)

I'll release v5.51 later, which has the correct version numbers

Semi-bug:

Sent my geo survey squad in for overhaul. Rewind ~2.5 years off the clock. Send them out to explore, and they hit "Transit Failure - too soon" (paraphrase).

What is the time for military jump engines to recycle?

You mean they are supposed to be going 13000km/s??

*edit*
Nevermind. The 90 engines jumped their size up to 200k tons.

Edit by Steve to add spoiler tags :)

Depends on a few factors but it is the same amount of time as it takes for weapons and sensors.

But it shouldn't be in the months range?

Auto made an empire and was trying to make a MIRV, but my own missiles didnt show up on second stage...
So I checked the computer generated missile and  have all the same they stats, 0 on everything...
When I check the ship design thay all have the right stats for the missile... Warhead, speed, etc.
