CSIDS exam

Does anybody know if this exam is still based on the 4.x IDS or if it has been updated for the 5.x IPS?

It seems to me that the 642-531 covers the IDS:

(Last Day to Register December 19, 2005)

The new 642-532 exam covers the IPS:

(IPS OS v5.0, IDM v5.0, Inline IPS and Promiscuous Mode, Application Policy Enforcement, Meta Event Generator, NM-CIDS)

The specialist cert "IDS Specialist" will also change to the name "IPS Specialist".

I hope this helps!
