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...
