Invision Community 5.0.0 has reached a huge milestone; we're now in open beta testing.

After numerous alpha releases, we're ready to move forward with the last stage of development and testing. The beta stage is primarily just fixing bugs and tweaking existing features and we're confident that the beta testing stage will run smoothly as its already stable and being used on a handful of production sites by brave souls who have upgraded immediately.

Of course, we'd not recommend being so cavalier, especially if you are not very technical and do not have the time or patience to wait for fixes and risk broken functionality between beta releases!

The good news is that you can use Invision Community 5 beta on a test installation, so you can set it up, and learn its new UI and feature set before planning your upgrade.

The beta is available for both Invision Community Cloud customers, and Invision Community Classic customers.

Invision Community Classic (Self Hosting)

If you have an older license type (Invision Community Suite) and want to test Invision Community 5, then you are welcome to switch to the new v5 license in the client area. The renewal structure has changed, and all this is explained before you switch. If you have the classic license, you will then see the Invision Community 5 Beta download in your client area.

Invision Community Cloud

Our Cloud customers can request a time-limited v5 demo. Instructions on how to do this are in the Invision Community 5 Beta Testing Club.

We're thrilled to move closer to a final release a year after Ehren revealed the "fresh new vision" for Invision Community 5.

We'd love for you to join us in the Beta Testing Club and let us know what you think of Invision Community 5.

I’ve just switched my self-hosted license to the new self-hosted license, and I really like the new policy—I’m glad you adopted it.

 

I hope that in the future, you will also reconsider offering ticket support to those without a cloud license.

 

In the meantime, I’m going to try out the new beta. I’m really curious!

How about IPS v2?

Worth noting, you cant convert from 2 to 4, let alone 2 to 5 🙂 Of course, you could do 2-3-4-5

Yeah, my current upgrade path is from 3 to 4. I was just wondering if those upgrade steps got merged into 5—more wishful thinking, haha. So, to confirm, you can't go from 3 to 5; I would have to go to 4 first?

Luckily, I got my upgrade migration times down to a solid 1.5 hours from 2.0.4 to 4 latest from 8+ hours 🙂

I can’t recall offhand but I think it’s somewhere around 4.5 being the oldest version that can upgrade to 5.

When is version 5 coming out?  Seems like this is going on forever. We are ready 🙂

We're glad you're ready for it! We're excited too! 🙂 We are getting there, but there is a lot to test, and a lot of moving parts. Its safe to say we are getting closer and closer to release, but it wont be until the new year that we do so. We have a few weeks of Holidays coming up, so its safe to say we wont be releasing a major release in that period.
