Supported Go versions

Echo supports last four major releases. v5 starts from 1.16 until there is last four major releases after that.

As of version 4.0.0, Echo is available as a Go module. Therefore a Go version capable of understanding /vN suffixed imports is required:

1.9.7+

Any of these versions will allow you to import Echo as github.com/labstack/echo/v4 which is the recommended way of using Echo going forward.
