Hey all, If you’re self hosting and looking forward to 6.0, you will want to follow this issue over on Github: > > > We're working towards releasing Ghost 6.0. As with all major version bumps, ther…e will be some breaking changes, especially around the API. > > This issue is a placeholder where we'll keep track of all the breaking changes we are making. The intention is to have one place to point to - but also make this transparent for the community. > > \## Breaking changes (WIP) > This list isn't final until 6.0 is shipped. > > 1. Dropping support for Node.js v18 > v18 is EOL now, and no longer supported upstream, we're updating to reflect this > 2. Dropping support for Node.js v20 > Node.js v22 includes some important new features that we want to use to make building Ghost easier - including TypeScript and ESM support. Maintaining backwards compatibility in this case doesn't feel valuable given the advantages of being v22 only. > 3. Return max 100 results from Ghost's APIs (deprecating \`?limit=all\`) > Having the ability to return all results made sense when Ghost was a small blogging tool. Now it has significant performance issues. \`?limit=all\` will be deprecated, and if used will only return max 100 results. Setting limit to a number higher than 100 will also result in a max of 100 results. > 4. Removing AMP > Our AMP feature has been deprecated for quite some time. It will be removed in 6.0 Notably for self hosters, support for Node 18 and 20 will be dropped. ---

If, like me, you’re doing your Node upgrade so that you’re ready, these directions are OK: [Supported node versions for self-hosted installs of Ghost](https://ghost.org/docs/faq/node-versions/#:~:text=When%20upgrading%20Node.,js%20version). You do need to be in your Ghost directory before running steps 4-5. ---

Here we go again. Some day need to upgrade, but I am afraid of brake something… I hope nothing critical changes in 6.0 version. ---

I think that so far, the list is pretty modest. The versions of Node being discontinued are quite old, the API thing makes sense (and most users won’t notice), etc. ---

Anyway need to be ready for update someday. I have to get some local training before updating ghost cms on product…
