Also. Version 5.11 of the Boson simulations is not based on NG-AI. It's
highest reference is FP3, some of the questions still refer to SKIP, FWZ and
FW-1 as valid, active protocols, which we both know are no longer supported
in (FP3 and FP4)-NG-AI

If there is a newer version out, it hadn't been announced, openned to
general release as far as I know.
