Has 6.0.5.8 been pulled ? Thought I saw a reference to it but then 6.0.5.7 is now classed as stable, also the release notes have update info on 6.0.5.8 ?

Info for people here, the 6.0.6.0 download on this site actually downloads 6.0.5.7 ?

I have what I'm sure is a really stupid question, but here goes anyway.

Some time back there was a lot of 'stuff' about the annual maintenance fee being charged for Blue Iris, all I can recall is that I was being billed at least 3 times per year for annual maintenance, and being the overly organized person, I of course paid each and every bill that was sent. Anyway, something happened, and BI maintenance was switched over to another company (I think). Since then, I haven't received any billing and I'm no longer getting updates either. I don't know whether to resubscribe to annual maintenance or what. When I click on the "Go to Download" link above, it points to an executable download that seems to suggest that it would update Blue Iris, but if that's so, do I now not need to have a maintenance subscription? Can I just go to this thread and click download to get the latest version?

Yes the original company doing the payments for BI was replaced due to all sort of problem, yes you need a valid support agreement if you want to download and use updates that are past the expiration date of your support agreement, if you try to update and your support is expired your system will go into evaluation mode!

The recent updates that are posted for download appear to be incorrect versions, e.g. the 6.0.6.5 installs 6.0.6.3. (Updating from within Blue Iris installs the correct update.) Might be useful to add a hash calculator to the scraper that acquires the updates files, and if there's an identical hash with a prior version, flag it for correction before posting.

If the Bot is grabbing the updates from the main BI downloads updates page then I've complained on the other BI forum that the download is not always correct but little to nothing seems have been done and the issue still persists.

yes, but adding a hash calculator to the ipcamtalk scraper that acquires the updates files, that test if there's an identical hash with a prior version, and flag it for correction before posting, would then provide a means for ipcamtalk to not post a known incorrect version that users would download.
