The next major version of MikroORM has been just released. The title says: Stricter, Safer, Smarter – why?

- Greatly improved type safety (e.g. populate and partial loading hints)
- Auto-flush mode (so we never lose in-memory changes)
- Automatic refreshing of loaded entities (say goodby to refresh: true)
- Reworked schema diffing with automatic down migrations support
- and many many more...
This time it took almost a year to get here – initial work on v5 started back in March 2021.
