For a complete guide on migrating from v4 to v5, see https://next.cli.vuejs.org/migrations/migrate-from-v4.html

There are still a few planned breaking changes that we are still working on. But most features are stable. So we think now is a good time for a release candidate.

• Default preset will be the Vue 3 preset, once the latest tag of vue on npm becomes v3.
• There are a few major upstream dependencies that we may upgrade to once they are ready. Please be aware of the possible breaking changes if your custom configuration depends on them:
  • The default mocha version in @vue/cli-plugin-unit-mocha is still mocha 8 because mocha 9 isn't yet supported in mochapack.
  • fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin doesn't support type checking <script setup> blocks yet. For now, you have to run vue-tsc separately. The feature is being actively worked on, though.
