Yes the first CS6 update is here
So I did some testing of the bugs that made me decide to stop using CS6 and found 4 bugs were fixed 6 bugs were not fixed.
Fixed:
un-checking the Photoshop preference “Open Document in Tabs” on PC broke many Actions and Scripts
I do not like editing in tabs the number one reason I stopped using CS6 is unusable in Floating windows

I can bypass these problem for myself but two of the bugs may cause many of my Action and Scripts I have made available to work incorrectly or fail for others. The failure occur because bugs in CS4 CS5 and CS6 that involve how some Photoshop options and Preference are set. They can not be set by action and scripts so there is no way to set the users options and preference the way the need to be set for proper Photoshop execution. I can code around some of the problems not all them. Coding around a bug is not the way bugs should be addressed for this do not fix the old Actions and Script code that expect Photoshop to work correctly.
