Svelte 5

[boylett]

Are there plans for Svelte 5 support? :)

Hi! I've not tried Svelte 5 yet. I think it was supposed to be backward compatible(?)

Yes and no. They do have some breaking changes that they can't get around, although I haven't seen those impact this library (yet). They also need library authors to create a separate branch for Svelte 5 changes, particularly since eventually the changes will become breaking.

It'll be advantageous to move to Svelte 5 as it addresses some shortcomings for the environment, although some people find it controversial, I suppose ("Oh no! It's become ReactJS!").

Currently, I am trying to use this library with Svelte 5, and while it works, I'm constantly having to apply --force or --legacy-peer-deps to work with my project.

FWIW, this site might clarify some things, now that Svelte 5 has reached release candidate phases.

I checked out the resources you provided and then added svelte ^5.0.0 to the package.json of almost all packages. Only the component plugin requires some changes and a new version would need to be published.

Feel free to answer here or open new issues for anything going wrong in the new Svelte version!

I also want to add that by using the new CLI command sv migrate, upgrading to Svelte 5 might be painless. The migration guide gives you an overview of the changes.
