# ABP.IO Platform 5.2 Final Has Been Released!

[ABP Framework](https://abp.io/) and [ABP Commercial](https://commercial.abp.io/) 5.2 versions have been released today.

## What's New With 5.2?

Since all the new features are already explained in details with the [5.2 RC Announcement Post](https://blog.abp.io/abp/ABP.IO-Platform-5-2-RC-Has-Been-Published), I will not repeat all the details again. See the [RC Blog Post](https://blog.abp.io/abp/ABP.IO-Platform-5-2-RC-Has-Been-Published) for all the features and enhancements.

## Creating New Solutions

You can create a new solution with the ABP Framework version 5.2 by either using the `abp new` command or using the **direct download** tab on the [get started page](https://abp.io/get-started).

> See the [getting started document](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Getting-Started) for more.

## How to Upgrade an Existing Solution

### Install/Update the ABP CLI

First of all, install the ABP CLI or upgrade to the latest version.

If you haven't installed yet:

```bash
dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli
```

To update an existing installation:

```bash
dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli
```

### ABP UPDATE Command

[ABP CLI](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/CLI) provides a handy command to update all the ABP related NuGet and NPM packages in your solution with a single command:

```bash
abp update
```

Run this command in the root folder of your solution.
