NOTE: This is a pre-release of a major version of BepInEx. BepInEx 5 plugins will not work with this release yet.

About upgrading

This release is mainly meant for those who use current Bleeding Edge builds to mod Il2Cpp games. If you want to use this release, follow this upgrade guide:

• If you use BepInEx 5: Stay on BepInEx 5! The current pre-release does not support loading BepInEx 5 plugins, and there are many issues.
• If you use BepInEx Bleeding Edge builds (builds 697 down to 577): It is recommended that you upgrade to this pre-release and stay on it to ensure all your plugins keep working. Builds after 6.0.0-be.697 will bring many breaking API changes in preparation for the first stable v6 release.
• If you want to mod new Unity Mono games: Consider using BepInEx 5! The API is still stable, and BepInEx 6 will eventually include support for loading BepInEx 5 plugins!
• If you want to mod new Il2Cpp games: Consider using this release until the stable v6 release, or until bleeding edge builds enter the RC (release candidate) stage.
