They can be assigned with the new `:let` filter run prefix, or the existing `<$let>` widget. The full list of values can be retrieved using round brackets instead of the usual angle brackets. In all other contexts only the first item in the list is used as the variable value.

+Macro, procedure, and function calls via the `<<..>>` shortcut syntax now support dynamic parameter values, not just static strings. Use an equals sign instead of a colon to pass transclusions, filter expressions, or nested invocations as parameter values. For example:

-* As a filter operand value

-This adds support for async functions to commands and startups. 
+Commands and startup modules can now return a Promise (or be `async` functions). In both `synchronous: true` and `synchronous: false` modes, the resolved value is used as the return value.
 
-In both `synchronous: true` and `synchronous: false` mode, if you return a promise (manually or by using the async keyword), it will wait for the promise to resolve, and then proceed using the resolved value as the return value of the function. 
-
-Importantly, in `synchronous: false` mode, returning a promise will not change the callback behavior. So you can safely use an async function and still call the callback to continue execution. 
-
-Previously, in `synchronous: true` mode, returning a promise would have just logged the promise to console and halted execution. Now the promise will be awaited, and if the value is truthy, it will be logged to console and halt execution. If the promise resolves to a falsy value, execution will continue. This is the main breaking change, but since logging an opaque promise to console is the most useless of all error messages, this is unlikely to seriously break anything in practice. Throwing anything, truthy or not, will still stop execution (in `synchronous: true` mode). 
-
-This also does not add any error handling code. Rejected promises should still be logged to console as unhandled rejections just as uncaught exceptions are currently. 
+Note: In `synchronous: true` mode, a returned promise is now awaited rather than immediately logged to console. If it resolves to a truthy value, execution halts (unchanged behaviour); if it resolves to a falsy value, execution continues. Rejected promises are still reported as unhandled rejections.

-* It also reports and blocks draft modules that come from plugins
-
+Module tiddlers in draft state are no longer executed, preventing unintended side-effects while editing. Draft modules sourced from plugins are also blocked and reported.

+Binary image tiddlers can now be downloaded by the browser in a format it correctly recognises. Previously, all tiddlers were converted to blobs before downloading, which prevented browsers from identifying binary image data properly.

-Tiddlers were previously processed before shadows during module registration. The shadow modules registration algorithm only checked for a matching title to prevent overwriting, but a differently named tiddler with the same exports would be overwritten by a shadow. This change swaps the order of $tw.wiki.defineTiddlerModules() and $tw.wiki.defineShadowModules() in boot.js, so that tiddlers are processed after shadows and can therefore override them.
-
-Each group (tiddlers or shadows) is sorted alphabetically, so plugin shadows would previously correctly overwrite core shadows (assuming their name starts with $:/plugins/), which remains unchanged. This change only affects module tiddlers that have the same export as a shadow, but a different name.
-
+Fixed a bug where a module tiddler with a different title from a shadow module but the same export type could be overwritten by that shadow. Tiddlers are now registered after shadow modules, so user tiddlers correctly take precedence over shadows with the same export.
