"You" in this case would be "they".  I'm just giving my interpretation of
what he said.

No, I think they just want a 5.0.9 with -only- bugfixes (ALL of them), but
no actual feature alterations.  Just changing things so that they're not
broken, but not adding anything or pulling the rug out from under anything
(although fP-Tech tends to try to bend over backwards to maintain
compatability from what I've seen).

No.  That's not the extent to which I interpret it.  Just a "bugfixed
5.0.9", but none of the "value added" things that may have been added in
later versions (like memo print either did just come out or is coming out
in .14...I thought I heard it is coming out, but it's a good example).
