I guess that it is better than Junior5 because it is not logical to release
worse version but if you want to be more sure you can wait to see more results
of games.

Fritz's programmers release new versions very often so there is a good chance
that there will not be an improvement because of a mistake of the programmers.

It is not the case with Junior.

I have not Junior6 but I know that there are some improvements in the positional
understanding of Junior5.9 relative to Junior5.
(example:Junior5 can fall in the trap of taking h2 by the bishop when the bishop
is trapped when Junior5.9 does it less often)

One change in Junior is reducing the value of the pawn and it can sometimes
counter productive(For example Junior5.9(and also Junior6) cannot see Junior's
good sacrifice against nimzo)
This change is sometimes productive when Junior does a good sacrifice of a pawn
or avoid taking a poisoned pawn.
