Description
Summary
azure-devops-extension-sdk 5.0.0 was published, but there is no public explanation of why it is a major version, what changed, or what might break for existing extensions.
This repo has no GitHub Releases, and the README still only documents the v4 major (ESM + AMD). There is no blog post, changelog, or migration guide that I could find.
Why this matters
Extension authors need to know:
- Why the major bump (breaking changes vs. new capabilities only)
- What changed in the public API / runtime behavior
- Migration steps from 4.x → 5.x (if any)
Without that, teams cannot plan upgrades safely (especially for production Marketplace extensions).
Request
Please add at least one of:
- A GitHub Release for 5.0.0 with release notes
- A
CHANGELOG.md(or README section) covering 5.0.0 - A short migration note: breaking changes, deprecations, and recommended
SDK.init()/ auth usage
Thanks — even a short bullet list of changes would unblock a lot of consumers.

Research direction
Start by comparing the README’s v4 documentation with the published 5.0.0 package and reviewing the public API, runtime behavior, and SDK.init/auth usage. Done means adding a GitHub Release, CHANGELOG.md, or README section that explains the major-version rationale, changes, breaking behavior, deprecations, and migration steps from 4.x to 5.x.
