The upcoming v5.3.0 release of TiddlyWiki introduces some significant improvements and new features related to some of TiddlyWiki’s most fundamental components: macros, widgets, operators and transclusion. v5.3.0 also contains several other bug fixes and improvements. All the changes are intended to be backwards compatible.
This is a good time to test the new release and give feedback. The currently planned schedule is to freeze further changes on June 12th, followed by the final release on June 26th. That means that there is time to act on feedback, but it’s helpful to get it as soon as possible.

There are several ways you can help:
- Visit the prerelease on the web, explore the release note and try out the new features. Let us know if the release note or documentation is not clear
- Use the prerelease upgrader at https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/upgrade.html to make a test upgrade of your own single file wiki and try out your usual workflows
- If using Node.js, download the prerelease from GitHub - Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5: A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc. and try it with your own data and plugins
Any feedback is welcome here, or on GitHub.
Please wait until the official release before updating your day-to-day wikis, and remember the first rule of TiddlyWiki: to make sure to take (and verify) backups before doing anything risky.
Best wishes
