5.8.03 USP and .09 Revisions

[Bill Randall]

Mark,

Supporting 5.8 and 5.7 is two major versions back, not one.

5.7 was released in May of 2011
5.8 was released in February of 2015

When 5.8 was released we prominently announced in emails and posted on our website that 5.6 and older versions would no longer be supported.

None of this is unreasonable or unusual IMHO

Bill
