Svelte 5 Release Candidate
Svelte 5 is now in the Release Candidate phase. This means that the design of the framework is largely settled, with no anticipated breaking changes between now and the stable release, and that the most egregious bugs have been stomped.
It doesn't mean that it's ready for production, or that nothing will change between now and 5.0. But if you've held off on dabbling with Svelte 5 during the public beta phase, now is a great time to try it out. You can select the 'Try the Svelte 5 preview' option when starting a new SvelteKit project...
For the last several months, we've been hard at work rewriting Svelte from the ground up to be faster, easier to use and more robust, applying the lessons we've collectively learned from several years of building apps with Svelte.
You can learn more about the new features from the preview documentation, and by watching the presentation from the most recent Svelte Summit:
