! Major Improvements

!! Performance Optimisations

This release includes several low-level performance optimisations that should improve speed and responsiveness in many common operations.

* [[Caching the results of parsing a tiddler|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/b0cb17cd83dde89753ec159e27c920a7bf22bee1]]
* [[Loop optimisations|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/c6e48ebc2db4af895f5b3935b3f575b8aab292fe]]
* [[Tiddler iteration optimisations|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/8f63e2a959a7ac44533ae2b6192716ee17a1ce93]]
* [[State qualifier generation|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/848a7f4e744c8f4dcb4ec88a0e99c4ae6aac25e5]]
* [[Caching data tiddlers|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/32f6d7f1b01474b82debcbdd5d76c49c59303265]]
* [[Removed expensive visual effects|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/4f5cf4597abb08af787b62c2e2ee1b8c667dad1e]]

There is a new setting in the control panel to enable performance instrumentation, making it much easier to measure and improve performance issues.

!! New Editions

Three new editions of TiddlyWiki are included in this release. These can be used as starting points for creating your own wiki for several purposes:

* The [[Résumé Builder Edition]] by @inmysocks is a custom edition to guide you through the process of using TiddlyWiki to create a good looking résumé (or curriculum vitæ)
* The [[Blog Edition]] provides tools for using TiddlyWiki under Node.js to create a static HTML blog that can be published on GitHub pages (or similar)
* The [[Text-Slicer Edition]] is a custom edition with tools to help advanced users slice longer texts up into individual tiddlers.

!! External Text Tiddlers

Limited support for tiddlers stored in external `.tid` files:

* standalone TiddlyWiki HTML files with external text tiddlers can be built under Node.js
* wikis with external text tiddlers can be worked with in the browser, automatically lazily loading the content of external text tiddlers when it is first referenced
** saving changes in the browser doesn't work as expected: if edited, the external text tiddler is replaced with an ordinary tiddler
** lazy loading of external text tiddlers doesn't work in Chrome when viewing the TiddlyWiki HTML file on a ''file:'' URI; it works OK in Firefox
** lazy loading works on an HTTP URI on all browsers as long as the target file is either stored on the same domain or is served by a [[server that supports CORS|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing]]

See [[Alice in Wonderland]] for an example. Try opening it without a network connection.

!! New "Tight" Theme

A new theme called "Tight" uses reduced padding, margins and font-sizes to pack as much text as possible:

<$button>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/theme" text="$:/themes/tiddlywiki/tight"/>
Try it out
</$button> <$button>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/theme" text="$:/themes/tiddlywiki/snowwhite"/>
Revert
</$button>
