See documentation for more information. @sneridagh

Breaking changes

• Deprecate NodeJS 12 since it's out of LTS since April 30, 2022 @sneridagh
• Move all cypress actions to the main Makefile, providing better meaningful names. Remove them from package.json script section. @sneridagh
• Remove div as default if as prop from RenderBlocks. Now the default is a React.Fragment instead. This could lead to CSS inconsistencies if taken this div into account, specially if used in custom add-ons without. In order to avoid them, set the as property always in your add-ons. @sneridagh
• Removed date-fns from dependencies, this was in the build because Cypress depended on it. After the Cypress upgrade it no longer depends on it. If your project still depends on it, add it as a dependency of your project. @sneridagh
• Removed all usage of date-fns from core. @sneridagh
• Rename src/components/manage/Widgets/ColorPicker.jsx component to src/components/manage/Widgets/ColorPickerWidget.jsx @sneridagh

• Staticize Poppins font to be compliant with EU privacy. Import from GoogleFont is disabled in site.variables. @giuliaghisini
• Remove the callout button (the one with the megaphone icon) from the slate toolbar since it has the same styling as blockquote. If you need it anyway, you can bring it back in your addon. @sneridagh
• Using volto-slate Headline / Subheadline buttons strips all elements in the selection @tiberiuichim
• Use Cypress 10.3.0 (migrate from 9.x.x). Cypress 10 has some interesting goodies, being the native support of Apple Silicon Computers the main of it. See https://docs.voltocms.com/upgrade-guide/ for more information. @sneridagh
