-Express 5.0 is still in the beta release stage, but here is a preview of the changes that will be in the release and how to migrate your Express 4 app to Express 5.
+Express 5 is not very different from Express 4; although it maintains the same basic API, there are still changes that break compatibility with the previous version. Therefore, an application built with Express 4 might not work if you update it to use Express 5.
 
-To install the latest beta and to preview Express 5, enter the following command in your application root directory:

-Express 5 no longer supports the signature <code>res.send(<em>status</em>)</code>, where _`status`_ is a number.

 If you need to send a number by using the `res.send()` function, quote the number to convert it to a string, so that Express does not interpret it as an attempt to use the unsupported old signature.

 Path route matching syntax is when a string is supplied as the first parameter to the `app.all()`, `app.use()`, `app.METHOD()`, `router.all()`, `router.METHOD()`, and `router.use()` APIs. The following changes have been made to how the path string is matched to an incoming request:
 
-- Add new `?`, `*`, and `+` parameter modifiers.
-- Matching group expressions are only RegExp syntax.
-  * `(*)` is no longer valid and must be written as `(.*)`, for example.
-- Named matching groups no longer available by position in `req.params`.
-  * `/:foo(.*)` only captures as `req.params.foo` and not available as `req.params[0]`.
-- Regular expressions can only be used in a matching group.
-  * `/\\d+` is no longer valid and must be written as `/(\\d+)`.
-- Special `*` path segment behavior removed.
-  * `/foo/*/bar` will match a literal `*` as the middle segment.
+- The wildcard `*` must have a name, matching the behavior of parameters `:`, use `/*splat` instead of `/*`
+- The optional character `?` is no longer supported, use braces instead: `/:file{.:ext}`.
+- Regexp characters are not supported. For example:
+```js
+app.get('/[discussion|page]/:slug', async (req, res) => {
+  res.status(200).send('ok')
+})
+``` 
+should be changed to:
+```js
+app.get(['/discussion/:slug', '/page/:slug'], async (req, res) => {
+  res.status(200).send('ok')
+})
+```
+
+- Some characters have been reserved to avoid confusion during upgrade (`()[]?+!`), use `\` to escape them. 
+- Parameter names now support valid JavaScript identifiers, or quoted like `:"this"`.
 
 <h4 id="rejected-promises">Rejected promises handled from middleware and handlers</h4>
 
 Request middleware and handlers that return rejected promises are now handled by forwarding the rejected value as an `Error` to the error handling middleware. This means that using `async` functions as middleware and handlers are easier than ever. When an error is thrown in an `async` function or a rejected promise is `await`ed inside an async function, those errors will be passed to the error handler as if calling `next(err)`.
 
 Details of how Express handles errors is covered in the [error handling documentation](/en/guide/error-handling.html).
 
+<h4 id="express.urlencoded">express.urlencoded</h4>
+
+The `express.urlencoded` method makes the `extended` option `false` by default.
+
 <h4 id="app.router">app.router</h4>
 
 The `app.router` object, which was removed in Express 4, has made a comeback in Express 5. In the new version, this object is a just a reference to the base Express router, unlike in Express 3, where an app had to explicitly load it.
 
+<h4 id="req.body">req.body</h4> 
+
+The `req.body` property returns `undefined` when the body has not been parsed. In Express 4, it returns `{}` by default.
+
 <h4 id="req.host">req.host</h4>
 
 In Express 4, the `req.host` function incorrectly stripped off the port number if it was present. In Express 5, the port number is maintained.

 The `req.query` property is no longer a writable property and is instead a getter. The default query parser has been changed from "extended" to "simple".
 
+<h4 id="res.clearCookie">res.clearCookie</h4>
+
+The `res.clearCookie` method ignores the `maxAge` and `expires` options provided by the user.
+
+<h4 id="res.status">res.status</h4>
+
+The `res.status` method only accepts integers in the range of `100` to `999`, following the behavior defined by Node.js, and it returns an error when the status code is not an integer.
+
+<h4 id="res.query">res.vary</h4>
+
+The `res.vary` throws an error when the `field` argument is missing. In Express 4, if the argument was omitted, it gave a warning in the console

 This method now enforces asynchronous behavior for all view engines, avoiding bugs caused by view engines that had a synchronous implementation and that violated the recommended interface.

+Express 5 supports Brotli encoding for requests received from clients that support it.
