I understand that Bb 5.6 (which is the current version) is primarily a bug
fix which resolves issues around course (and system) statistics.

That would be our view as well, and one expressed by Bb staff when we asked
this. However there is an issue with the accuracy of these. We tried
creating a course, with only one student in it. When you login as that
student and just access the course "home" page, and then exit, you get 2
hits for the student in the course stats even thought they have only
accessed one page of the course.
I understand that Bb are aware of this and intend to do something about it
in the next version.
