Exec Summary/Hot Topics

- Tabs for iPad was considered for uplift to V5.0, but the decision was made to hold for further testing and launch in a later release.
- A decision has been made by senior management to continue to hold back on the release of bi-directional sync, so this feature will NOT be launching in V5.0 as initially planned.
- Approval is expected 2-3 days post-submission. Launch timing is TBD pending Marketing/PR recommendations
- The team will continue to monitor and triage issues, and produce bug-fix releases, which may possibly include some limited number of foundational features as approved by senior management.
