  • For beta-ready features and code, you can use release tag v5.0.0-beta.4
  • If you'd like the nightly build, you can pull directly from the next branch
  • Documentation related to v5 is located in our README in the next branch
  • Please note that we currently do not support a migration path from v4 and below to v5; this will be coming in the future
  • One more time: ⏰Upgrading your v4 instance to our v5 beta will break your install of Coral. This is not migration ready.
