Are there any differences between ViaCAD V7 and V8 other than the logi-cursor, the push pull feature, and the architectural additions?

Thanks-

I have downloaded a Demo of Version 8 from Cadsoft UK but the build number is 997 and there are plainly bugs in it, like the Gripper bug that seems to have been fixed in build 1001.


If I buy V8 from Cadsoft, will I then be able to upgrade - or simply get, the builds that follow including say, 1001, for no additional charge?

Build numbers seem to be purely sequential - at what intervals do version numbers change?
