 Node.js Framework Sees Major Update with Express v5 Release
The latest version of Express, a popular Node.js framework, has been released after 10 years in the making. Express v5 aims to streamline development, improve security, and prepare for future growth. While not introducing flashy new features, the update focuses on core updates that unblock the ecosystem and allow developers to build more efficiently.

Key changes include native support for promises and async/await, middleware and router enhancements, improved error handling, and deprecated synchronous middleware functions. The release also includes performance and security enhancements, such as better memory management and enhanced HTTP header handling.
