Breaking changes
You should look out for one breaking change in the upgrade guide. There's an upgrade script too.

New Export to CSV action in recipes
We've had some talks with users regarding export to CSV. Even though we don't have a first-party feature like that, we made an action that supports column selection.

We're on ruby.social
You may have noticed that quite a few people are migrating from Twitter to ruby.social, so you'll find me there too. So let's connect there, too https://ruby.social/web/@adrian.
We're starting work on Avo 3.0
We'll probably have another Avo 2.0 release in two weeks, but we'll take a break to start work on v3.0. We want to make v3 much more extendable, accessible, and complete.
We have a milestone up on GitHub with some features we're planning to bring in early 2023.
https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/milestone/1
Avo v2 will still receive bug fixes and security upgrades for quite a while now, so don't worry; you won't have to upgrade to stay up to date with security issues. We'll have a nice upgrade path too.
