Svelte 5 introduces 'runes,' a new approach to manage reactivity, offering additional functions such as $state, $derived, $effect, and $inspect for better handling of reactive states, arrays, and objects. While the runes system has drawn both praise and criticism, it aims to solve issues present in Svelte 4, like shallow reactivity and manual updates. Svelte 5 also updates event handling, adds snippets for reusable markup within components, and provides new functions for manual DOM manipulations.
