We just released a brand-new version of our Connections Administration Toolkit (CAT) for Connections 5.0 and 5.5. Next to support for CR4, the new version contains many bugfixes, member management for all Connections features, and the option to copy or import only parts of a wiki, community, blog, or forum.
