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.

### Avo 4 Rollout

We're going to start the Avo 4 closed beta rollout at the end of February with an open beta at the end of March, and, hopefully, with GA at the end of April.

### 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.
January 6, 2026 at 4:29 PM
##### Keyboard shortcuts

We're using them everywhere, so we should have them in Avo too.
January 6, 2026 at 4:29 PM
##### 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).
January 6, 2026 at 4:29 PM
##### Collaboration

The collaboration feature will give you your very own Slack-like experience right into Avo in the context of your resources. You'll be able to comment, chat, and have a content-rich experience improving how your company collaborates.
January 6, 2026 at 4:29 PM
##### Automatic JSON API from resources

This will give you an API ready on-demand from your already present resources is so spot-on! You'll be able to customize quite a few things and how the response is shipped.
January 6, 2026 at 4:29 PM
##### HTTP resource adapter

If you thought that the Array adapter proved super handy wait until you see the HTTP adapter. It will enable you to hook into any API and display the data super handy using Avo's Resource DSL.

##### 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).

### What's coming to Avo 4 in 2026

We started working on Avo 4 in August and we have quite a few things prepared.
January 6, 2026 at 4:29 PM
With Avo we managed to ship so many new features like the Array resource adapter, Discreet information, Nested record creation, Automatic field detection, Media library, and Universal Kanban boards,

### What happened in 2025?

We released Marksmith, a GitHub-like markdown editor for Rails (Active Storage compatible), we went and supported 8 conferences, did a bunch of misc open source work and supported some contributors through donations.
