**How to upgrade**: remove your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kataras/iris` folder, open your command-line and execute this command: `go get -u github.com/kataras/iris/iris`.
+## 4.0.0-alpha.5 -> 4.0.0
+
+- **Feature request has been implemented**: Add layout support for Pug/Jade, example [here](https://github.com/iris-contrib/examples/tree/master/template_engines/template_pug_2).
+- **Feature request has been implemented**: Forcefully closing a Websocket connection, `WebsocketConnection.Disconnect() error`.
+
+- **FIX**: WebsocketConnection.Leave() will hang websocket server if .Leave was called manually when the websocket connection has been closed.
+- **FIX**: StaticWeb not serving index.html correctly, align the func with the rest of Static funcs also, [example](https://github.com/iris-contrib/examples/tree/master/static_web) added.
+
+Notes: if you compare it with previous releases (13+ versions before v3 stable), the v4 stable release was fast, now we had only 6 versions before stable, that was happened because many of bugs have been already fixed and we hadn't new bug reports and secondly, and most important for me, some third-party features are implemented mostly by third-party packages via other developers!

Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most used template engines, you can quickly craft the perfect application.
+Iris is built on top of fasthttp (http basic layer), net/http middleware will not work by default on Iris, but you can convert any net/http middleware to Iris, see [middleware](https://github.com/iris-contrib/middleware) repository to see how.

+If for any personal reasons you think that Iris+fasthttp is not suitable for you, but you don't want to miss the unique features that Iris provides, you can take a look at the [Q web framework](https://github.com/kataras/q).
