There are
IC5032, IC5033, IC5141, on native Cadence Database (CDBA)
ICOA5033, ICOA5141, on OpenAccess 2.0 Database (OA)
ICOA5241, on OpenAccess 2.2 Database (OA)
If you have some of them installed you'll find a 'Whats New'
in the right corner of nearly ever tool under the 'Help' menu,
this is probably the easiest way to get this kind of information.
Also there are the so called 'Release Notes' accessible through
'cdsdoc' the Cadence online documentation or under
<install_dir>/doc/cicnew/cicnew.pdf
You can find the 'Release Notes' also on SourceLink
http://sourcelink.cadence.com

IC5141 is the last CDB release. It is planned to be supported until 2008
(I believe) - the info is on sourcelink.
So 5.2.51 (out already) and 6.1 (due mid 2006) will be OA only.
Andrew.

cdba <--> oa |
|

hi,
every object in a schematic or layout is stored in a database. cdba and oa are different databses. cdba is an cadence internal database and oa is an "open source" database (developed originally by cadence).
oa should be quicker and saves storage space in the case of huge designs.
more information can be found: http://openeda.si2.org/
greetings,
