J-BusinessDirectory - version 5.9 progress reports

Would CMSJunkie be willing to create a news site - it can be for registered users only, if you prefer - where you journal a bit about version 5.9.

I know it's heavily delayed  (is it my imagination or were you talking about in Summer 2023?).  It would be helpful to know the current plan at any given point in time.

It is ok to miss an expected release date if the extension is buggy  (in fact, it is a great reason to delay), but it would be helpful to know what the plans are rather than have an information void.

It would also be helpful to know for planning purposes what is going to be included in it? For example, is updating and/ or replacing some of the outdated software included?

New features are great to have (if you use them as a user), but I would vote for a robust extension over another bell or whistle every time.
