You can uninstall `remark-unwrap-images` from your project if you used it inside the `mdxOptions.remarkPlugins` array.

**Please note:** If you haven't done the [migration from v3 to v4 for `gatsby-plugin-mdx`](/plugins/gatsby-plugin-mdx/#migrating-from-v3-to-v4), please be aware that you'll **need to** go through that migration process if you want to use the latest version of `gatsby-plugin-mdx` with Gatsby 5.

## Future breaking changes

This section explains deprecations that were made for Gatsby 5. These old behaviors will be removed in v6, at which point they will no longer work. For now, you can still use the old behaviors in v5, but we recommend updating to the new signatures to make future updates easier.

MDX is markdown for the component era. It lets you write JSX embedded inside markdown. It’s a great combination because it allows you to use markdown’s often terse syntax (such as `# heading`) for the little things and JSX for more advanced components.

`gatsby-plugin-mdx@^4.0.0` is a complete rewrite of the original plugin with the goal of making the plugin faster, compatible with [MDX v2](https://mdxjs.com/blog/v2/), leaner, and more maintainable. While doing this rewrite we took the opportunity to fix long-standing issues and remove some functionalities that we now think should be handled by the user, not the plugin. In doing so there will be of course breaking changes you'll have to handle – but with the help of this migration guide and the codemods you'll be on the new version in no time!

**Please Note:** Loading MDX from other sources as the file system is not yet supported in `gatsby-plugin-mdx@^4.0.0`.

### Updating dependencies

```shell
npm remove @mdx-js/mdx
npm install gatsby@latest gatsby-plugin-mdx@latest @mdx-js/react@latest
npm install gatsby-plugin-mdx@latest @mdx-js/react@latest
```

If you used any related plugins like `gatsby-remark-images`, also update them to their `@latest` version.

You can also use [`eslint-mdx`](https://github.com/mdx-js/eslint-mdx) to find all culprits and in some cases automatically fix them through ESLint.

### Updating MDX nodes

Since most MDX nodes are moved to userland you'll have to [extend the GraphQL MDX nodes](#extending-the-graphql-mdx-nodes) and update your queries accordingly. However, you can [alias your `fields`](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/reference/graphql-data-layer/schema-customization/#aliasing-fields) to have them at the root of the GraphQL node.

As mentioned above the `html` field was removed from the GraphQL node. We know that some of you used this for e.g. `gatsby-plugin-feed`. Unfortunately, for compatibility and performance reasons we had to remove it. We recommend using the `excerpt` field in the meantime until we find a feasible solution to provide MDX rendered as HTML. If you have any suggestions, please comment on the [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/discussions/25068).
