+# 5.3.0
+Released 12th July 2023.
+
+**For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.20.10**
+
+This is a support release for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.20.10.
+
+**Plugin compatibility:** Plugins for previous 5.x versions will run unchanged on this release, unless they use internal APIs, reflection, or packages like the `pocketmine\network\mcpe`  or `pocketmine\data` namespace.
+Do not update plugin minimum API versions unless you need new features added in this release.
+
+**WARNING: If your plugin uses the `pocketmine\network\mcpe` namespace, you're not shielded by API change constraints.**
+Consider using the `mcpe-protocol` directive in `plugin.yml` as a constraint if you're using packets directly.
+
+## Interim releases
+If you're upgrading directly from 5.1.x to 5.3.x, please also read the following changelogs, as the interim releases contain important changes:
+- [5.2.0](https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/blob/5.2.0/changelogs/5.2.md#520)
+
+## Included releases
+**This release includes changes from the following releases:**
+- [4.23.0](https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/blob/4.23.0/changelogs/4.23.md#4230) - Support for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.20.10
+
+## Internals
+- `BlockTypeNames`, `BlockStateNames`, `BlockStateStringValues` and `ItemTypeNames` in the `pocketmine\data\bedrock` package have BC-breaking changes to accommodate Bedrock 1.20.10.
