Today, we are releasing the [ABP Framework](https://abp.io/) and the [ABP Commercial](https://commercial.abp.io/) version 5.1 (with a version number `5.1.1`). This blog post introduces the new features and important changes in this new version.
> **The planned release date for the [5.1 stable](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/milestone/64) version is February 8, 2022**.
> **Warning**
>
> For a long time we were releasing RC (Release Candidate) versions a few weeks before every minor and major release. **This version has been released without a preview version.** This is because we've accidently released all the packages with a stable version number, without a `-rc.1` suffix and there is no clear way to unpublish all the NuGet and NPM packages. Sorry about that. However, it doesn't mean that this release is buggy. We've already resolved known problems. We will publish one or more patch releases if needed. You can follow [this milestone](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/milestone/64?closed=1) for known problems or submit your own bug report. If you are worried about its stability, you can wait for the next patch release.
Please try this version and provide feedback for a more stable ABP version 5.1! Thank you all.
