| 18 | +In our new blog post series, we are beginning to lift the curtain of secrecy which has surrounded Version 5 for the past few years. Each week, Benjie will dive in to a key feature of this massive new release. |

| 21 | +This week we are starting with an exploration of replacing the look-ahead |
| 22 | +system. In the post, you'll find out why we invented |
| 23 | +[Gra<em>fast</em>](/news/20221208-graphql-galaxy/) (our new planning and |
| 24 | +execution engine for GraphQL); see examples of the straightforward “plan |
| 25 | +resolvers” that PostGraphile V5 uses; and revel in the significantly |
| 26 | +simplified and more efficient SQL queries that V5 generates. |

| 34 | +### PostGraphile V5 Sponsors Early Access |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +April marked a big milestone for PostGraphile Version 5, when |
| 37 | +[it entered the alpha stage](https://postgraphile.org/news/2023-04-26-version-5-alpha). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +With thanks to everyone in the V5 testing community - and a special shout out |
| 40 | +for the excellent and continued feedback from our sponsors dfg, hov, James, |
| 41 | +Josiah and the Netflix team, mattste, Simon, and Timo - **we're now confident V5 |
| 42 | +is suitable to run in production**. Work preparing for final release is still |
| 43 | +ongoing, but we now have a |
| 44 | +[detailed migration guide](https://postgraphile.org/postgraphile/next/migrating-from-v4/), |
| 45 | +[updated docs](https://postgraphile.org), an enhanced developer experience and |
| 46 | +much improved backwards compatibility! |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +With the beta just around the corner, now is the perfect time to join our |
| 49 | +sponsors and test Version 5. **If you don’t try V5 until after its public |
| 50 | +release then it may be too late to comment on things that could have been |
| 51 | +improved**. All sponsors are invited to join the early access program, if you |
| 52 | +already sponsor us please get in contact and we'll arrange an access code for |
| 53 | +you and your team. |
