What is new to version 5?

A lot.  You can now design your dataflow anyway you wish with multiple sources, destinations and any number of mappings in between.  We've also added tons of record set transformations and placed a greater emphasis on data quality.  Too much to list here.  You can find a more detailed description of the product here.

Can I combine data from multiple sources?  Insert into multiple destinations? 
Yes.  By using the Join Transformation, the Merge Transformation, or the Union Transformation, you can combine data coming from different sources and then map out from that Join.    To write into multiple destinations, just map to each destination as you would into a single destination.  To selectively map into destinations, you the Router Transformation before the destinations.  You can find more about it here.
I found a bug. How do I let Astera know about it?
You can contact us at support@astera.com or better yet, you can post your question in our forum.  You can find that here.
