# Cloudflare Miniflare v5 changes local development behavior and APIs

Markdown version of <https://harbyn.com/changes/cloudflare/2026-09-08-workers-miniflare-v5-prepares-local-development-for-the-cf-cli>.

Breaking change - Cloudflare. medium severity. In effect.

Miniflare v5 adopts a configuration shape aligned with cloudflare.config.ts, removes deprecated and internal APIs such as legacy alpha D1 bindings and wrappedBindings, drops built-in module discovery, moves local-only /cdn-cgi routes under /cdn-cgi/local, and replaces per-resource persistence options with shared persistence roots. Projects that use Miniflare only through Wrangler or the Cloudflare Vite and Vitest plugins need no action.
