#### SmartAdmin v5 Upgrade

This release is a complete overhaul of SmartAdmin, rebuilt entirely from the ground up to take full advantage of Bootstrap 5. Unlike a simple version upgrade, this is a new template that eliminates legacy dependencies, modernizes the codebase, and enhances performance across the board.

One of the biggest changes is the removal of jQuery, making the template leaner, faster, and fully aligned with modern web development standards. The entire JavaScript structure has been rewritten to be vanilla JS-based, improving maintainability and reducing unnecessary dependencies. Additionally, Bootstrap 5 introduces a more flexible grid system, improved utility classes, and better handling of responsive design, all of which have been incorporated into this rebuild.

All components, layouts, and UI elements have been redesigned to reflect the latest trends while ensuring compatibility with Bootstrap 5 standards. The removal of outdated plugins and refactoring of existing features result in a cleaner, more efficient template. Furthermore, accessibility and usability improvements have been a major focus, ensuring a better experience for all users.

Since this is a full rewrite, it is not backward-compatible with previous versions of SmartAdmin. Developers upgrading from SmartAdmin v4 will need to adjust their custom implementations accordingly. However, this new version sets the foundation for easier future updates, better scalability, and long-term stability.

Thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoy the new and improved SmartAdmin v5!
