 Nrwl (the company behind the open source build system Nx) has taken over [stewardship of Lerna](https://dev.to/nrwl/lerna-is-dead-long-live-lerna-3jal). [Nx](https://nx.dev) is a build system developed by ex-Googlers and utilizes many of the techniques used by internal Google tools. Lerna v5 is the first release under this new stewardship, updating outdated packages and starting to do some cleanup on the repository itself. Starting with v5.1+, Lerna comes with the new possibility to integrate Nx and defer a lot of the task scheduling work to it.
