As you know, the list of remaining functionality only available in CT5 has dwindled as we’ve worked hard to finish CT6 over the past several months. We’re excited to say that CT6 completion is just around the corner!

Therefore, today we are announcing that CT5 will no longer be available after mid-October 2020.

Our current roadmap forecasts completion of CT5-only features in CT6 by the end of July. After that, we will have a period of intensive CT6 feedback-review, fueled by your input to the Idea Board.
