Great job @wesleytodd and everyone who worked on this issue. |
Hey @karlhorky! Thanks for the thanks and the questions. Would you mind moving them into a new issue and we can edit this to link back there? I just dont want to make it even harder to find things burried at the end of a 10 year old issue. 🤣 EDIT: and I should add, this stuff is the main reason we are on |
Just dropped by to say this is very cool and thank you all for the hard work ❤️ |
Sounds good, I created a first issue over here: |
I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in this release for their absolutely incredible perseverance in getting Express 5.0 to the finish line! Huge thanks for all your hard work, I'm really looking forward to upgrading! 🙏 |
Congratulations for the hardwork 🎉 |
Thank you so much for releasing all these amazing stuff @wesleytodd . Do we have any plans to backport recent security patches (path-go-regexp, send etc.) in v4? |
@spperforce As 4.x is still maintained, all security work has been done for that release. Is there something missing? |
This was so cool to see. Congrats to everyone involved! |
Here are the maintainers listed for the Definitely Typed packages: @types/express@types/express-serve-static-coreBut the express types have only had a few changes since 2021, so I don't know how active its maintainers are. |
If any of the folks in this list are interested in helping us refine our strategy for supporting typescript, please take a look at the new issue #5944 to continue the discussion. |

This is a tracking issue for release 5.0.
5.0.0-beta.1 published on npm
I am trying to give better visibility for upcoming changes and so am trying out making a PR for a release here, pulling from the official next release branch into 4.x. This allows for the current pending changes to be easily visible.
Please keep feature requests in their own issues
I'm also leaving this PR unlocked so people can make comments/etc. and we'll see how it goes :) If you want to make a comment on a particular change, please make the comment in the "Files changed" tab so comments are not lost during a rebase (they will occur frequently has 4.x progresses).
The goal of Express 5 is to be API tweaks & the removal of all code from the Express repository, moving into components in the pillarjs project (https://github.com/pillarjs), providing at least basic support for promise-returning handlers and complete HTTP/2 functionality. Express 5 would become a "view into pillarjs" and would be an arrangement of these components.
