+# Jasmine Core 5.0.0-alpha.0 Release Notes
+
+## Summary
+
+This release primarily adds support for parallel execution via the `jasmine`
+package. Please see its release notes and the 
+[parallel documentation](https://jasmine.github.io/tutorials/running_specs_in_parallel)
+for more information. Additionally, this release cleans up a few outdated
+interfaces.
+
+This is a pre-release for a major version. It contains breaking changes, and
+there may be further breaking changes between this release and the final 5.0.0
+release.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+* Use addEventListener in browsers rather than setting window.onerror
+
+  This simplifies error handling in browsers, makes Jasmine's own integration
+  tests easier to debug, and provides stack traces for more unhandled
+  exceptions. However, some browsers will provide less error information when
+  the error comes from a file:// URL. Additionally, Jasmine will no longer
+  override existing onerror handlers, and setting window.onerror will no longer
+  override Jasmine's global error handling. (Use `jasmine.spyOnGlobalErrors`
+  instead.)
+
+* Made Env#execute async
+* Env#execute no longer takes a callback
+* The `boot` function exported by the core module returns the same object
+  every time it's called.
+* Removed node_boot.js. Use the exported `boot` function instead.
+
+### Changes to supported environments
+
+The following previously supported environments are no longer supported:
+
+* Node <16.14
+* Safari 14
+* Firefox 91
+
+Although this release may still work in some of those environments, we no
+longer test against them and won't try to maintain compatibility with them in
+future releases.
+
+## New features
+
+* Support for parallel execution in Node.js using the `jasmine` package
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* The global error handler is uninstalled at the end of env execution.
+
+## Supported environments
+
+jasmine-core 5.0.0-alpha.0 has been tested in the following environments.
+
+| Environment       | Supported versions |
+|-------------------|--------------------|
+| Node              | 16.14+,         18 |
+| Safari            | 15-16              |
+| Chrome            | 111                |
+| Firefox           | 102, 111           |
+| Edge              | 111                |
