We'll slowly release UI4 and then the other products after we fix the UI issues.
The API doesn't have too many breaking changes. We estimate that 90%-95% will stay the same. We're re-aligning some of the old APIs with new learnings improving the Developer Experience.

### Pricing changes
We're going to change the pricing model a bit. I spoke a little bit on the video of what our toughts are, but can't make full statements right now.

##### Reactive fields
Avo supported this using StimulusJS but we wanted a more streamlined approach. Now, using just the DSL you'll be able to have a dynamic form at your fingertips.

##### Forms
We did it! We built a form builder using the Resource DSL (and a bit of the Actions' DSL) and you'll be able to use the forms in separate pages or in tools and custom HTML.

##### Improved search
Search needed an overhaul. The new global search is powered by Hotwire, so it will be much easier to customize, it will feature a dedicated page and the resource search will be inline (finally).

##### All new UI with (UI4)
The new UI, called UI4 is going to change Avo compeltely. It follows a new design language and is made with theming in mind, so yes, Dark mode is coming.
UI4 is also built with accesibility in mind (WCGA 2.2, at least).
