I will chime in. I don't think that the trending feature should be something to try to bring you to the big cloud packages. First off, if anything, it's an add-on. There is no reason that it cannot be built into the default core. When I was on Xenforo there was an add-on made by ThemeHouse called 'Trending'.
Trending XenForo 2 Add-on — ThemeHouse
This was nothing more than an addon, that takes in different algorithms based off your choosing in your Admin area, and you could have it displayed by most views withing the hour etc.
We are going to see increasingly little features like Invision's 'Trending' go towards their Cloud packages to try to entice users to switch over. I am sad to see it personally each time. Since I have been back over here, I see so many users here frustrated with the way the future is going for Invision. It's not my business, so they can run it how they want, but we all feel like we are invested into a company that looks at self-hosted clients as a nuisance and would rather deal straight with the cloud customers only. I don't want to see this post turn into another bashing Invision post though there have been plenty of those in the last 6 months. But I think you will continue to see increasingly these types of features of each release be cloud based only. In time we as self-hosted clients may only get bug fixes and security patches only, and no new features. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️

How safe are the Betas to run? Do you have to manually upload them, or can the upgrader be used? Also do you release many betas or skip directly to release, or it that based off if errors are reported? Do the betas typically run for a few weeks before final release or are the typically fast? Just trying to decided if I should move over, since it looks like it has some fixes I might be interested in. 

Put the following in your constants.php file (or create one).
<?php
\define('USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS','TRUE');
Navigate to "Applications" in your ACP and click on "Check for Updates".
You should see a banner show up alerting you of the existence of beta releases.  You can upgrade your board (or not) as you wish.  To remove prompting for betas you simply replace "TRUE" with "FALSE" or delete that line from your constants.php file.
As with any release please do a complete backup of your site as there is a possibility that the upgrade will encounter an issue. If you do encounter an issue you can always restore from backup and wait for the next beta or full release.  

We are aiming for a monthly release schedule from now on.

Ultimately, it will largely depend on your sites needs and configuration of Memcached versus Redis, however we've made various improvements to Redis support in 4.2.6.
I would recommend trying both out and see which works better for your specific needs and your environment.

Funny how so many read “Invision Community 4.3 Coming Soon” as “tell us all your wishes for IPS 4.3 in the comments”. 

Finished up Longmire a couple weeks ago, great series.

new day - new feature I hope this goes on like for a month.

I think you guys are announcing/releasing this at a great time. With the upcoming release of Xenforo2 this will help keep current customers from switching sides as well. I think in the last couple of years IPB has got a great solid code foundation and now it's time to release all the fun stuff. Looking forward to it!
