+**For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.19.62**
+
+5.0.0 is a major update to PocketMine-MP, including many new features and API changes. It is **not** compatible with plugins written for previous versions of PocketMine-MP.
+
+**During the beta phase, no new features will be added.**
+
+This stage of development is focused on stability and cleaning up any major issues introduced during the alpha stage.
+
+## WARNING
+**This is a BETA release.** This means that it may be unstable, and is not yet ready for production use.
+
+Since this version has undergone substantial changes compared to 4.x, plugins written for 4.x will need to be updated to work on this version.
+
+Breaking API changes may still occur during the beta phase, but only if they are strictly necessary to fix a problem prior to full release.
+
+**BACK UP your data before testing this.** This version will work with worlds and player data from 4.x,
+BUT any world or player data loaded in 5.0.0 will not work in 4.x due to backwards-incompatible storage format changes.
