based on what I've seenin the past, typically, fs will release a new
version of JAWS sometime in August or September. Then an update or bug
fix is usually released in January or February, or sometime close to that
to coincide with the CSUN conference. They gotta have something to show
there and since JAWS is one of their main attractions, you just know
they're gonna be rolling out something for everyone.
So I'm guessing 5.1 won't go live til September or October if they fall
behind which is likely.
