Versie 5.1 van Bolt uitgekomen. Bolt is een opensource-contentmanagementsysteem en is daarmee in bepaalde opzichten vergelijkbaar met programma's als Wordpress en Drupal. Bolt is eenvoudig in gebruik, voor zowel installatie als beheer, heeft diverse goed uitziende templates die met Twig zijn aan te passen, en is geoptimaliseerd voor zowel desktop- als mobiele omgevingen. In versie 5.0 heeft Bolt onder meer rollen en permissies voor Symfony gekregen en is er ondersteuning voor php versie 8. De releasenotes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
