Was partial replacement were removed in Turbolinks 5

I am wondering if Turbolinks 5 has partial replacement as in 3rd version. Also where is the 3rd version, is it Turbolinks-classic? At the rubygems site I can find only 2.5 and 5th version listed. In turbolinks-classic documentation I see partial replacement documentation which says for versions (3+). So I lost where is the Turbolinks 3, or is it just now called Turbolinks 5? Sorry if my question is unclear.

Turbolinks jumped from v2 to v5. They were working towards v3 but put a halt on it. In v5 "Turbolinks replaces the current <body> element outright and merges the contents of the <head> element," - so there is no partial replacement.

This interview with DHH helps to understand his thinking behind Turbolinks 5 and the jump from v2 - https://youtu.be/ktZLpjCanvg?t=48m18s
