Backpack v5

It's here!! It's finally here!! Backpack v5 is the latest-and-greatest that Backpack has to offer. But it is NOT a huge time-consuming upgrade. Think of it as a "4.2" release, that we've had to name "v5", because we've also changed our business model. We have added new features, major improvements that will allow us to build cool new features, but also kept the upgrading process as easy as possible. Plus...

🎉 🎉 🎉 Backpack v5 is a FREE upgrade, for everybody who's purchased a Backpack v4 license after 9 Feb 2021. 🎉 🎉 🎉

But yes, Backpack v5 is a MAJOR new version, with 8+ months of work put into it, and major improvements under-the-hood. It is the current and recommended version of Backpack and it's got so many cool new things... Please see the release notes in the docs for an easier-to-read breakdown of the changes.
