Hi all:

During the most recent developer hangout ([2020.04.21 Hangout](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/2020-04-21-hangout/11208)), we discussed possible feature highlights for the Slicer 5 release notes. Usually, the release notes document is generated immediately before the release. This time, we would like to start the process a little earlier. A Google doc for collecting items that developers would like to have featured in the highlights section of the release notes is linked below:

> **[Draft: Slicer 5.0: Summary, Highlights and Changelog (Shared Publicly)](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fxTL56JAvB0mzj6exZb4AweUvnwZQeJw52JaUNX88Q4/edit?usp=sharing)**
>
> Summary: The purpose of this document is to help us collect highlights / features for Slicer 5 as we move closer to the release date. This will help us write up the final release notes, making sure that everyone has a chance to highlight...

Feel free to add to this document, or suggest things to be added!

We have added “feature” tag on all posts announcing new features, so we should have a complete list of features (along with description and pictures & videos): [https://discourse.slicer.org/tag/feature](https://discourse.slicer.org/tag/feature)
