2010.5 was the only free one that I can remember and that was because there was not a whole lot to it. 2011.5 is a much bigger deal with a major and very cool new mixer plus the new RT's require 2011.5 to run plus some enhancements of the current RT's also need 2011.5 to run. There is also a new Android Remote feature that looks pretty cool. I have an Android but haven't checked that out yet.

I would call this a substantial upgrade and I would not expect it to be free.
