They seem to do part of their mailing list each month. 
I got the update notice for 5.1 about two or three months 
after it started showing up on the net. 
I got the update notice for 5.5 about two or three months 
after it started showing up on the net. 
It then took about another two or three months to get delivery.

I understand that the latest version can be picked up from their 
bulletin board. The number is in the front of the manual.
