(ER: Having some trouble with news, and the team has deservedly gone to bed. So I'll put this here for now and we can move it to news tomorrow.)
If you have concerns or questions about features please post them in response to these release notes. We will review every comment, we will respond appropriately to the comment either with words, with action or with consideration.
Please be nice. We deliver v5.0 with love, and we hope to discuss how to improve it with you within a similar context.
Release Notes:




* The front page is art only for now. Later we'll let you further customize.
* In the next day, two, couple, something.. days, a front page "customize" button will be added as planned. Bug delay. That's all.

* Deviation pages also include thumbnail short cuts for use within deviantART.
* Full-View and Mid-View toggle without reload.
* Addition of Favorites also require no reloads.

Shop hasn't actually been redesigned, it's just been made to look v5ish. Active development of the new prints program has been underway for some time now, and we anticipate a complete prints overhaul to launch well before the end of the year.
On the plus side however, navigation of prints and searching of prints is far, far sexier!

deviantART News is still beta, we intend to add a lot more functionality, but at its core it is a system that the community can submit to, and the community can dig through to find the news articles that are the most interesting for the day. Inspired by Digg.com.
* Just In shows you all the submissions ... just in..
* Popular shows you what's become popular throughout the day.
* +

note: We will be revisiting the forum with a magnifying glass in the coming week after launch, but due to the passion of hardcore forum users we wanted feedback first.

We're waiting a few days on the devious poll, it will come back and will appear on the front page and news.
