Unrestricted Fieldnames and the New JSON Store Area +The major change in this release is that the format used to store tiddlers in TiddlyWiki's HTML file has changed from an HTML DIV-based format to a new JSON-based format. The consequences of this change are far-reaching, and justify the move from v5.1.x to v5.2.x: -https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/5708 +Firstly, the ''characters that can be used in field names are now unrestricted'' (just like tiddler titles), making it possible to use fieldnames like `My^Field` or `☃️`.
