See GitHub for detailed change history of this release

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

Important Update

After the release of v5.2.5, we found some backwards compatibility issues with the stylesheet changes in #7039 and #6910. We have therefore decided to make a rapid bug fix Release 5.2.5 to resolve these issues, and all users should upgrade to the new version.

Major Improvements

added new GenesisWidget that allows the dynamic construction of another widget, where the name and attributes of the new widget can be dynamically determined, without needing to be known in advance

added (and here) new operators for reading and formatting JSON data: jsonget Operator, jsonindexes Operator, jsontype Operator, jsonextract Operator and format Operator
