🌲 #newfeature
A new chart.bg_color variable returns the color of the chart's background. Another one, chart.fg_color, returns a color producing optimal contrast with that background.

🌲 #newfeature
To complement the recently introduced chart.is_* variables, a new `chart.is_standard` variable detects when a standard chart type is used. Standard chart types are ones where the close is not synthetic, so bars, candles, hollow candles, line, area or baseline.

🌲 #newfeature
A new `currency.USDT` constant was added for Tether.

🌲 #newfeature
`ta.change()` can now be called with a "bool" variable to detect state changes. You can now write:

//@version=5
indicator("", "", true)
bool upBar = close > open
bool directionChange = ta.change(upBar)
plotchar(directionChange, "directionChange", "•", location.top, size = size.tiny)

🌲 #newfeature
The historical states of arrays and matrices can now be referenced with the `[]` operator. In the example below, we reference the historic state of a matrix 10 bars ago:

//@version=5
indicator("")
m = matrix.new<float>(1, 1, close)
float x = na
if bar_index > 10
    x := matrix.get(m[10], 0, 0)
plot(x)

🌲 #newfeature
10 second charts are now available. timeframe.period will return "10S" on them, as expected.
