#### SillyTavern 1.15.0

##### Highlights

Introducing the first preview of Macros 2.0, a comprehensive overhaul of the macro system that enables nesting, stable evaluation order, and more. You are encouraged to try it out by enabling "Experimental Macro Engine" in User Settings -> Chat/Message Handling. Legacy macro substitution will not receive further updates and will eventually be removed.

##### Breaking Changes

1. `{{pick}}` macros are not compatible between the legacy and new macro engines. Switching between them will change the existing pick macro results.
