v3.4.0 - Search highlight, menu renderables, better resource tools, and reload associations

Hey everyone, we shipped quite a few fixes, improvements, and features today.

Big changes

• Search results are highlighted with the search query
• Added the ability to render partials and components in the menu
• Improved the tools and resource tools
• Added the ability to reload association panels in the UI.
• Added a new private API for dynamic filters (more details in the video)

Priority chat support and Advanced hands-on support

We are spending quite a lot of time on the chat for advanced support requests, and we are not able to deliver on the features and changes that we promised.
We are trying a new approach where we try to monetize that support and onboard new folks who will fulfill that support.

There are two flavors of paid support:

1. Priority chat support
2. Advanced hands-on support

What we're working on now

We are working on integrating Turbo 8 with morphing, transitions, and instant click behavior. We're close to merging it.

Paul has been making great progress on the audit features. We will support papertrail and audited integrations.

We have a few other things we're currently working on but not ready to disclose yet.

We have a new team member

Gabriel is our second junior Ruby developer who joined the team. He will start part-time and familiarize himself with the codebase with some not-so-complex tasks, but expect to see him more active on Discord.

Release schedule

We'll probably keep this four-week-ish release schedule. Maybe every second Tuesday of the month?

Thank you for being awesome!

Adrian and Paul
