I'm looking forward to playing around with the new features. I've already shelled out my $54 US (+ $8 S/H) for the upgrade.

The features that did it for me right off include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • New Object Gallery and New Object Gallery Features/Functions
  • Multi-stage Transparencies
  • Object Locking (Pro version only)
  • PDF Links to Pages & Anchors (I wasted a lot of time trying to find a workaround for this in XXP4 to no avail.)
  • Improved Adobe EPS and PDF Import
  • Direct Page Resizing
  • Drag n Drop Page Re-ordering (I always thought the 'Move Page Up/Down' options were klunky and a total PITA for documents comprised of more than 3 or 4 pages.)

Any word on when the Version 5 CDs will start to ship?

Can't wait for the weekend,
