Apple has just dropped a new Logic Pro update. Version 10.6.2 focuses on bug fixes, reliability, and stability improvements. 

If the update is not showing up in your software update notifications, go directly to the Logic Pro page in the App Store. Instead of "Open," the button at the upper right will say "Update". Click the Update button to install the new version. As always, be sure to back up your existing version first, in case you need to revert to it in the future.
