v3.18.0 - Discreet information, multiple options select field, index_query and TailwindCSS v4 prep

Hey everyone,

I hope you're having a great start of spring. We have a few cool things we shipped this month.

Big changes:

• Discreet information
• Multiple options select field,
• index_query in actions
• We're prepping for TailwindCSS v4
• better engine mounting
• preview policy method
• namespaced actions generator
• dynamic content in resource title and description
• renamed row to cluster
• ... a bunch more changes

Prepping fro TailwindCSS v4

We're preparing for our migration to TailwinCSS v4.
I talked quite a bit about this migration and what it entails. I even broke it down on what you need to do if you ejected it or not.
We'll have more detailed docs up this week so please stay close to see what you need to do, if you even have to do something.
Most users probably won't have to do anything to upgrade.
