Version 5.0.0-alpha3, an experimental pre-release.

The key word is experimental!

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real gramps
family tree into 5.0.0-alpha3. In general, we recommend
you make a copy of your family tree instead (typically by
doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 5.0.0-alpha3 on
the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using
the GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

It's been over a year since 5.0.0-alpha1 was released
so we are interested in your feedback, especially if you
discover any bugs or problems which we haven't noticed.

https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_the_bug_tracker

Please file a bug report (selecting the "5.0.0-alpha3"
version) if you find one. We want testers for alpha3,
but only if you are sophisticated and resilient enough
to know how to keep it away from your real data.

Make a backup on your old gramps first, just in case.
