🛠 #fix
The ordering of scripts in your user profile's SCRIPTS tab was inadvertently changed a few days ago, which made them appear in latest updated order. The previous order by publication date was restored. Apologies for the inconvenience.

🛠 #fix
When a plot style was used and script users changed it in the "Style" tab, and then changed an input value, the plot's style was reset. This no longer happens.

🌲 #newfeature
The formatting of the Editor's console messages was streamlined and timestamps were added to them. Remember that you can click on error messages to bring you to the offending code in your script.

🌲 #newfeature
`str.format_time(time, format, timezone)` allows you to convert a Unix timestamp into a formatted string, while also allowing its translation to a timezone:

//@version=5
indicator("str.format_time")
if timeframe.change("1D")
    // Time in exchange tz.
    formattedTime1 = str.format_time(time, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm", syminfo.timezone)
    // Time in UTC tz using `str.format()`.
    formattedTime2 = str.format("{0,time,yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm}", time)
    // Time in UTC tz using `str.format_time()`.
    formattedTime3 = str.format_time(time, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm", "UTC")
    label.new(bar_index, high, formattedTime1 + "\n" + formattedTime2 + "\n" + formattedTime3)

🛠 #fix
math.round_to_mintick() used to return zero when used on na values. It now returns na in those cases.

🌲 #newfeature
The editor now has code snippets to help you with a few common constructs such as if, switch, for and while. More are planned.

🌲 #newfeature
When opening your script in a new window of the Editor, the size of the last-used window is remembered.

🌲 #newfeature

🌲 #newfeature
The new array.every() and array.some() functions allow you to test if all or some elements of a "bool" array are true. They also work with "int" and "float" arrays.

💪 #tip
The "Strategy" section of the User Manual was vastly expanded. It contains much more details and code examples:
https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/en/v5/concepts/Strategies.html

🌲 #newfeature
In the Editor, you can now replace the "Add to chart" button with "Update on chart". This allows you to push changes to the chart's version of the script while creating only a minor revision number. Continue to use "Save" when you want to create a major revision.

🌲 #newfeature
A new disable_alert parameter in strategy.*() functions issuing orders allows you to prevent selective orders from triggering alerts.

🌲 #newfeature
A new fill_orders_on_standard_ohlc parameter for the strategy() declaration statement allows strategies running on Heikin Ashi charts to fill orders using the market's OHLC values instead of the synthetic HA prices. The setting can also be changed in the strategy's "Properties" tab.

🌲 #newfeature
Three new syminfo.* variables were added: syminfo.sector, syminfo.industry, syminfo.country.
