Release Notes

---

Planned launch date: Dec 4th, 2024

For the past 2 years, we've done our very best to make all changes to Backpack in a backwards-compatible way. To not push a new version, because we know it's a pain in the bee's hind to upgrade stuff. But... it's time for a new release. Have no fear though, we've made this super easy for you.

Backpack v7 is a maintenance release. Yes, it does have a few breaking changes, but they will not impact 99.9% of projects. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't follow the upgrade guide! Please do - read it from top to bottom and make sure none of the changes impact you.

Here are the BIG things Backpack v7 brings to the table and why you should upgrade from Backpack v6 to v7. But first... we should give credit where credit is due. Big BIG thanks to:

• Pedro Martins for x;
• Jorge Castro for y;
• Karan Datwani for z;
• Cristian Tabacitu for t;
• our paying customers, who have made all of this possible by supporting our work 🙏

Together, our team has put in an incredible amount of work to make v7 what it is - more than XXX commits, across YYY months, all while still maintaining, bug fixing and improving v6. Again, big thanks to everybody who has helped made this happen 🙏
