Ember 5.1 Released

– By Jen Weber, Chris Krycho, Jared Galanis

Today the Ember project is releasing version 5.1 of Ember.js, EmberData, and Ember CLI.

This release kicks off the 5.2 beta cycle for all sub-projects. We encourage our community (especially addon authors) to help test these beta builds and report any bugs before they are published as a final release in six weeks' time. The ember-try addon is a great way to continuously test your projects against the latest Ember releases.

You can read more about our general release process here:

Ember.js

Ember.js is the core framework for building ambitious web applications.

The headlining feature of this release is stable TypeScript support! 🎉 The framework now publishes TypeScript types built from Ember's own source code, with Ember's strong Semantic Versioning commitment baked in—bringing benefits for both TypeScript and JavaScript users. For details, a couple important caveats, and a migration guide, check out the accompanying blog post.

Upgrading Ember CLI

You may upgrade Ember CLI using the ember-cli-update project:

npx ember-cli-update

This utility will help you to update your app or addon to the latest Ember CLI version. You will probably encounter merge conflicts, in which the default behavior is to let you resolve conflicts on your own. For more information on the ember-cli-update project, see the GitHub README.

While it is recommended to keep Ember CLI versions in sync with Ember and EmberData, this is not required. After updating ember-cli, you can keep your current version(s) of Ember or EmberData by editing package.json to revert the changes to the lines containing ember-source and ember-data.
