<p>Redactor is still not available for Craft 5?<br />
If so, that's a major problem for my upgrade path to Craft 5.</p>
<p>I know the CKEditor plugin, but that's not an option for me:<br />
See my other post: <a href="https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/41560/ckeditor-5-paste-plain-text">CKEditor 5: Paste plain text</a></p>
<p>Has anyone further information?</p>

Worth mentioning that Redactor is still on life support though, and the general recommendation is to migrate to CKEditor.

"craftcms/redactor": "4.0.x-dev"

I have no idea about the state of the development version and it might be safer to wait for a beta or stable release, though.
