UserFrosting 5 is the culmination of more than a year of work by @lcharette. It is a complete rewrite of the backend PHP code. And by complete, we really mean complete. No class was left untouched! The main updates are :
The Slim migration itself is a big deal. While brining UF to a more modern era, it had the most impact on the core changes applied to the UserFrosting framework. Most changes were made in response to the new Slim 4 requirements and changes. It also required the use of a new Dependency Injector, which itself really brought UF5 to a whole new level. You should really check out PHP-DI, it's awesome!
Basically, UF5 uses updated dependencies, all of existing code have been updated to new standard and new test coverage should provide better long term stability.
UF5 is not a drop-in replacement for UF4. The whole backend has been rewritten, with a new container, sprinkle system, etc. which will require most sprinkle to be updated manually.
UserFrosting 5 also offers the same frontend as UserFrosting 4. But the bases have been set for the future, with Webpack Encore and the current AdminLTE theme separated in it's own Sprinkle providing the necessary tools for Vue.js or other similar frontend.

This version is meant as a the first test version of the big V5 released. It's meant for UserFrosting developers to get a first fully working version of UF5 and to test it.
While no major changes are planed at this stage, things could still be moving around. Any breaking changes would however be documented during the beta period. Support for UF5 can be found for this beta on the chat or GitHub Discussions.
To install locally, you can use theses commands, as long as you met the requirements above (i.e. PHP and Node installed). When running the bake command, you can select sqlite if you don't have a database engine installed.

While most features are ready at this point, some things are not:
There's currently no ETA on the release date of the first stable version. For now, new beta released are planed, when necessary, until all documentation is written. Once this is done, the first release candidate version should be released, followed by the first stable release after some more testing.
At this point, the best way to help is to install this version and test it! Any bug you encounter should definitely be reported by opening a new issue. You can also contribute to the code and create pull requests.
Alternatively, you can contribute buy buying @lcharette a coffee.
