Congratulations to StS for their winning design for the banner for this release (here is the competition thread and the voting thread).

This is a bug fix release intended to resolve a backwards compatibility issue discovered in v5.2.6. See this GitHub ticket for the background.

The issue is that trailing newlines within a macro definitions were being ignored, which affected whether the content were parsed in inline or block mode.

Since v5.2.7 replaces v5.2.6 that was only released for less than a week, here is the release note for v5.2.6.
