So, uhm. What _is_ new? There's a bunch of removals and updated pre-reqs, but somehow the page doesn't tell what's actually new in Celery 5.0?

If you read through it does contain all the necessary details what's new in 5.x series compared to earlier major Celery release and pointing to additional documents link for specific details. If you are interested in history and updates they are in:

https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/changelog.html#chan...

I’m with the parent here, neither of these links explains what this means for me. I don’t understand what advantages this offers, or how it improves current or future workflows. Further, it doesn’t explain the deprecations well so I don’t have a clear sense of why I want to upgrade. What should I do if I was using the AMQP backend? What advantage does click offer over the previous command line parsing? The one thing I saw was in another comment someone indicated it fixes a memory leak.

My understanding is that the Python versions that don't support asyncio have been removed, which should make the codebase cleaner and easier to maintain. So it's actually a pretty big deal.
