We're thrilled to announce that all 30+ of our Astro themes have been fully upgraded to Astro 5.0!
On December 3, 2024, Astro released Astro 5.0, bringing major improvements in performance, content management, and developer experience. As early adopters of Astro, we at Themefisher knew we had to bring these advancements to our customers as soon as possible.
We know many of you have been eager to see how our themes would leverage Astro 5.0. But since we have many products and projects built with Astro, upgrading wasn’t easy. We had to experiment, upgrade, test, and finally ship the updates to our existing customers to ensure a smooth transition.

Upgrading 30+ themes was no small feat. We faced several challenges, including adapting to breaking changes like the shift from slug to id in content collections and the new content rendering syntax. But we persevered—refactoring code, carefully managing dependencies with tools like @astrojs/upgrade, and ensuring every theme is optimized for Astro 5's powerful new features.
