Today we released Forma 36 v4 beta, a new version of Contentful’s open source design system.

Beta means it's available to everyone, but we may still introduce some changes to the API, including small improvements and fixes. We encourage you to migrate to the new version and enjoy the improvements.

Improvements in v4

• Accessibility - We believe that the web should be for everyone, so we redesigned our React components following the WCAG level AAA guidelines.
• Bundle size - New approach to component management uses tree shaking and loads only what you need. As a result, bundles with v4 are up to 85% smaller.
• API - The updated Forma 36 API is simplified, follows common standards and is more consistent not only between individual components, but also with other Contentful APIs.
