Bug-bashing Bento 2.0v5 is now available for download

FileMaker issued an update to their Mac database application Bento this morning. Bento 2.0v5 is a bug-fix release, with no new features added to the application.

According to the download notes, Bento 2.0v5:

Resolves an issue related to duplication of Address Book and iCal information when synchronizing with Bento for iPhone and iPod touch. They've also posted details on removing duplicate entries.
~~Resolves an issue related to library icons when importing library templates.~~ This issue was originally reported as fixed, but Filemaker has updated the release notes and now indicates that it is NOT a fix in this build.
Resolves an issue related to importing Bento databases to FileMaker Pro

The download weighs in at 76.1 MB, while the expanded disk image is a full 127.9 MB in size and replaces the existing Bento installation. FileMaker also notes that this release includes the changes that were delivered in Bento 2.0v4, which added compatibility with Bento for iPhone and iPod touch as well as improved performance of the application.

Martin - not that I don't agree with your logic here, but when my Bento has been starting up it has NOT been prompting me for an update.

Further, when I actually go to the Bento menu and click check for updates it surprisingly tells me that I'm using the most recent version of the software and no updates are available even though I'm still using 2.0v4.

I did get an email from Filemaker about this, but that could have easily gotten lost for some people. Thanks to TUAW for reminding me again - I'm going to update right now!

I'm really not trying to troll, but what is the point of this post?

The update doesn't add features, so there's nothing here to sell anybody on. And my guess is anyone that cares about a bug-fix-only update (someone using the software) will get this same message the next time they launch Bento.

If they are NOT using Bento because of the bug they will not find out through update
