What

GOV.UK Frontend v5 changes must be handled by the Prototype Kit to prevent broken prototypes and support issues

A test version (or pre-release) will be ready for teams to test at the end of October 2023. This gives us an opportunity to receive feedback and make necessary changes before a full release. We expect that the full release will be ready between November and December 2023.

To reduce impact on the team, management and error pages should stay on GOV.UK Frontend v4 for now

We also have various package files using $legacy parameters now deprecated in GOV.UK Frontend v5. We should suppress these deprecation warnings until the following files can be updated:

Why

GOV.UK Frontend v5 is a breaking change due to:

  1. Compiled assets, fonts, views, scripts, stylesheets moving into child directory
  2. JavaScript includes switching from <script> to <script type="module">
  3. Legacy colour palette is now deprecated

The legacy palette was replaced in GOV.UK Frontend v3.0.0: https://designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2019/07/29/weve-updated-the-gov-uk-colours-and-font/
