This release of Pages does not have external blocks (this feature allows you use IP.Content blocks on another website or page) and neither does it have relational database field functionality. Both these features will be available in a near-future release.

 @Matt mentioned at http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/407319-ips-community-suite-400-release-candidate-1-available/?do=findComment&comment=2524803 that relational database fields will be available in a near-future release. Can someone from IPS please clarify if this will be in the final 4.0, or if we'll have to wait for 4.x?

It will be in a near-future release as Matt said there. We don't know the specific version number.

Thanks for your quick response, Charles.

Hello. Have any news?

Maybe @Matt will tell us the good news?

So let me get this straight. I've got several IP Content created pages that use an IP Content database i.e. a plugin database and a benchmark database. If I upgrade to 4.02 today from 4.4.7 then these 2 databases won't work? Is this correct?

​It depends on the field types you have used.
