Yes. Or at least there was a plan about this time last year. At that time 
delivery time was expected to be Sept 2025. This has obviously passed. I have 
no idea how far work has proceeded, if at all, on Hog v6 or whatever it will 
be called, or of any delivery time. The last time an update was needed, it 
took years, so don’t hold your breath. I rather suspect that Kurt Spaker 
doesn’t depend heavily on income from the Hog and isn’t pushing it hard.

Me too. Send an inquiry in using the ‘Product Feedback’ item on the 
Hogwasher menu. If Spaker gets enough inquiries he may actually release a new 
version. Depends on what the problem is, of course.
