v5.1.0

🧐 New version number system for docs

The Strapi Documentation (Strapi Docs) at docs.strapi.io always documents the latest version of Strapi (CMS and Cloud) products.

Since Strapi Docs version 5.0.0, the docs' version number is independent from the Strapi product version. Thus, the version numbers of strapi/documentation and strapi/strapi may differ.

Strapi Docs now follow the semantic versioning philosophy, but adapted to docs:

• Major version (6.0.0, 7.0.0…): A significant rewrite of the docs (content or framework). This may impact the user experience, redesign the site, or break old links (redirections are handled, but broken links can be reported).
• Minor version (5.1.0, 5.2.0…): New Strapi features or improvements to the docs (e.g., new components or tools).
• Patch version (5.1.1, 5.1.2…): Content updates, incl. such as fixes or typos.

New versions (minor or patch) are generally released weekly, on Wednesdays.

---

The 5.1.0 new docs version adds documentation for the new Multi-env feature for Strapi Cloud.

👉 Detailed release notes can be found directly on the docs website.

Note: Strapi v4 docs are now hosted at https://docs-v4.strapi.io and have entered maintenance mode. Strapi v4 is supported until March 2026. Until then, the Strapi documentation team will accept community contributions targeting the v4 branch, but will actively maintain only Strapi 5 docs (main branch).
