What an odd coincidence, after seeing Svelte for years I decided to actually try it for the first time yesterday, and now this drops. To be honest the timing of this is actually kind of a shame (just for me) as I haven't used it nearly enough to be particularly excited about this, but seeing as Svelte 3 was 4 years ago, I doubt I'll see another one anytime soon.

All sounds great anyway, congrats to the team!

They seem to be doing something of a tick-tock update approach. Not sure if it’s planned or by accident. V2 was a small change, V3 was a big change, V4 is small, and as far as I understand they’re already working on something that might end up V5.

Svelte 5 is speculated to release as early as this year (2023)! Svelte 4 was mainly a maintenance release; updated dependencies, TS to JSDoc migration and more, in preparation for the development of Svelte 5. The reason Svelte 4 is a major version release is due to upgrading some dependencies like the Nodejs version making it a breaking change.
