Okay, I'm convinced at this point that IPS is either a master of hype or they're overflowing with features that they forgot! 

We've heard about widgets and the page builder.  That's huge and exciting.  

We've heard about the new editor, which was a curveball and unexpected.  But still huge and exciting.  

Any one of these is worth a delay and a focal point of a major point release, but IPS oh-so-happened to casually mention they were doing major development on Tagging. First time we've heard of this, and it's huge and exciting too.  

I've literally already forgotten what features are shipping with 5.  Total theme overhaul, dark mode, community experts and helpful, badge creation, live topics, live posting, and IPS still managed to ship new features for 4.7 too.  

And this is before IPS has yet to preview any of the new page builder and new editor and new tagging.

The biggest news from Matt's post wasn't even the casual mention of tagging, but the timeline.  Private alpha is projected to be released some time this week to a small group of clients, which means public alpha and getting to play with Invision 5 is right around the corner.

I guess I don't understand why they hide this from people who do not have an active license.

My thoughts exactly.
