Introducing Express v5: A New Era for Node.js Framework

Ten years ago (July 2014) the Express v5 release pull request was opened, and now at long last it’s been merged and published! We want to recognize the work of all our contributors, especially Doug Wilson, who spent the last ten years ensuring Express was the most stable project around. Without his contributions and those of many others, this release could not have happened. Eight months ago we went public with a plan to move Express forward. This plan included re-committing to the governance outlined years ago and adding more contributors to help kickstart progress. Many people may not realize that robust project governance is critical to the health of a large open-source project. We want to thank the OpenJS Foundation Cross Project Council and its members for helping us put together this plan.
