We released Semantic MediaWiki 5.1.0.

This is a minor release with no breaking changes or bug fixes, only minor new features. Upgrading is thus not essential. For more details, see https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/releasenotes/RELEASE-NOTES-5.1.0.md#semantic-mediawiki-510

Beware that in our efforts to support #MediaWiki 1.44, we will drop support for MediaWiki older than 1.43 from git master.
