//[[See GitHub for detailed change history of this release|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/compare/v5.0.10-beta...v5.0.11-beta]]//

!! Incompatible Changes

See [[Notes for upgrading to 5.0.11-beta]] for more details of these changes:

* The default output location for command line operations has changed to the `/output` folder within TiddlyWikiFolders (it used to be current directory)
* Note that the shadow tiddler [[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]] has changed with this release. If you've made modifications to it you should copy your modifications to a new tiddler, delete [[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]], perform the upgrade and then manually update the new copy of [[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]]

!! Documentation Improvements

* Added more warnings about taking care to [[backup your data|The First Rule of Using TiddlyWiki]]

!! Usability Improvements

* Many performance optimisations, particularly for filter operations
* Added support for PermaLinks and browser back and forward buttons
* Added support for WikiLinks in Markdown via `[link text](#TiddlerTitle)`
* Added support for explicit external [[Linking in WikiText]] (eg `[ext[tooltip|url]]`)
* [[Replaced|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/580]] hamburger menu icon with double chevron icon
* [[Enhance|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/552657fc584dbb36754d3fcabca2cdef7e916ec9]] plain text parsing to use the CodeBlockWidget, and hence use syntax highlighting if the plugin is installed. This gives us syntax highlighting for JavaScript shadow tiddlers, amongst other things
* Improvements to the German, French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese translations
* [[Removed|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/61c3f8a5ba3c815d623c06f6a97d9c00a31a4157]] WikiText tiddlers from the sidebar "Types" tab

* [[Added|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/b84c663215cf7877fff960748af4b2849ae0dbb3]] automatic refreshing of the browser window title from $:/core/wiki/title
