+# Jasmine 5.0.0-alpha.0 Release Notes
+
+## Summary
+
+This release adds support for parallel execution and updates file glob handling.
+See the 
+[parallel documentation](https://jasmine.github.io/tutorials/running_specs_in_parallel)
+for more information about that feature. Please also read the
+[jasmine-core release notes](https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/blob/5.0/release_notes/5.0.0-alpha.0.md)
+for information about changes in that package, including breaking changes.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+* Node versions older than 16.14 are no longer supported.
+* Backslashes in the `specFiles` and `helperFiles` configuration properties are
+  interpreted as the start of escape sequences on all OSes. Previous versions
+  of Jasmine used a version of the `glob` package that treated them as directory
+  separators on Windows and the start of escape sequences on other OSes.
+
+## New features
+
+* Support for parallel execution
+
+## Supported environments
+
+The jasmine package has been tested on 16.14+, and 18.
