There are a few annoying but relatively minor bugs outstanding, but this is a noteworthy version because it has a bunch of bug fixes, and it doesn't have the activity changes that came with 4.0.60.4, if those are a deal-breaker for you.
However, if you need to use HIFIS for the 2024 PIT Count, you need a more recent version.
