Major Releases
All the enhancements and features which have been introduced to our major releases of the Axon Framework are noted here.
Release 5.0
Axon Framework 5 is finally here! The list below contains all the features, enhancements, bugs, and documentation changes we’ve done since the start of development of Axon Framework 5. Hence, the list includes changes made in all milestones and release candidates, to be as complete as possible.
For those looking to start with Axon Framework 5, we recommend you go through the [Getting Started](https://docs.axoniq.io/axon-framework-5-getting-started/) section of Axoniq Docs.
If you have an Axon Framework 4 background, for example because you are looking to migrate an Axon Framework 4 application to Axon Framework 5, note that thorough migration tooling will follow in release 5.1.0 (please follow [this issue](https://github.com/AxonFramework/AxonFramework/issues/3195) when curious).
If you want to give a manual migration a go, we strongly recommend that you check out the /axon-5/api-changes.md [file](https://github.com/AxonFramework/AxonFramework/blob/main/axon-5/api-changes.md) present in the Axon Framework project.
Although the api-changes.md is not strictly the migration guide, we will use it as the basis to form our future migration guide and documentation.
Given the shear amount of changes, we recommend checking out the full change list here.
