5.3.3 is the highest 5 release out...as far as i know, 7.1 is after that.
5.5 is mysterious vaporware.

Features originally targeted for WebFOCUS 5.4 have been rolled up into the WebFOCUS 7 release. However, the perceived move from 5.3 to 5.4 didn�t indicate the level of new features and enhancements that will be available in WF7.

FYI�WF7 is available today. The development environment has been overhauled significantly - SQL Wizard, Structured Ad-hoc Wizard, Dialogue Manager Editor, and a completely revamped Resource Layout tool (much more robust and now can handle the design of Visual Discovery screens, etc.). In addition, many of the server architecture features (e.g., autonomic functions and capacity planning) that were targeted for the Tango release (an internal name for the release intended to follow WF5.4, aka WF6.0) became available early.

So, what does all of this really mean? In short, WF7 includes enough actual functionality for two releases.

For more information regarding WF7 visit the home page of Focal Point, under the "What's New" section - http://informationbuilders.com/support/wf_dev_center.html

Thanks!
