Today we are releasing Forma 36 v4 to GA. Forma 36 is our open source design system, created to make it easy to quickly build apps and extensions for Contentful that feel like a native part of the platform.

Improvements in v4

• Accessibility - We believe that the web should be for everyone, so v4 brings Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) level AAA compliance in all of our React components.
• 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 - making your apps faster and more responsive for end users.
• API usability - 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. This makes it faster than ever to build apps in Contentful.
