Since most features are presented in books like DMG, Ravnica, Theros and Van Richten, I hope its not gated. At the very least, allow the feature to be unlocked to all users and allow us to add more via homebrew (like allowing the feat system although only grappler is free but a user can add more)
They didn't move, but they haven't had one in two weeks. We also barely get any notice on it. Like there was a tweet about a hour before it was gonna happen.

Hopefully saving for a big announcement when they do have one. I seem to remember they said last update or the one before that in the coming weeks they would have something big to talk about. Because the short notice cancellations are getting old.

This is the last one I saw on the forums and it was 6 weeks ago.
Just subscribe to the YT-channel, they posted a dev update there a week ago.. and the weeks before that.
The YouTube account tends to post the Dev Updates a week after they stream them on on their Twitch channel, where there hasn't been an update in two weeks, as Spideycloned mentioned. I hope that mjames_74 is right when they say that it's in anticipation of a big announcement - perhaps simulcast across both platforms?
I went and checked. Their update videos are 30-50 minutes long when the update posts are 2 paragraphs. I'd rather read 2 paragraphs.
If you're only interested in the factual updates, you can skim forwards through the video until you see the summary slide; the above image is just that slide, without the context and explanations - hope that's a reasonable middleground until the forum gets their next update?
What has happened to their cadence based development? Regular updates, even just to say, we have moved the needle just this little bit, is still helpful. Makes me wonder if they are losing incremental and iterative development discipline and sliding more toward waterfall. Lack of transparency only makes people nervous. Be transparent with your challenges and people are more understanding.
I imagine the "big announcement" and supposed lack of progress is the work on supporting the new races and subclasses for Witchlight and Fizban's. Same thing happened with Tasha's, I doubt this is some sinister effort to conceal challenges.
For anyone still looking for the latest Dev Update [I'm sure it'll get its own forum post in due time] it went up on schedule last Friday HERE! If you just want the roadmap, it can be seen at ~11:50.

General Feature System update please!!!!

What are the subscriber perks for August and when will they be available for subscribers
THe ability to make a full class would save me some serious headaches. Please mates?

Did the updates move somewhere or are they just spaced out pretty good right now?

Is there any way we can get a transcription of the updates for those who'd rather read instead of watch the videos?
the changelog is helpful, thought it's strictly updates to tech and not content (or upcoming roadmap): https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog

Thanks, this is pretty much what I was looking for.
