Does IPS anticipate any feature updates any more for the v4 line, such as for Courses? 

Or will that be targeted for v5?

Anything significant will be for v5. We have two code bases which have diverged significantly, so it's a fair bit of work to merge v4 code into v5. I currently do this manually with patch files.
