We just shipped the second release candidate for v5, and boy did we manage to squeeze in a slew of new stuff... Since RC1, we?ve worked hard on delivering two new components ? AutoComplete and Toast ? along with a powerful Theme API (including a Theme Designer), major DataGrid enhancements such as pinned columns, and dozens of improvements across the board.

Today we are thrilled to publish the first Release Candidate of the Fluent UI Blazor library v5! This major release marks a significant evolution for the library, bringing a new foundation built on top of the latest Fluent UI Web Components, powerful new components, a game-changing Default Values system, and first-class Localization support. Let me walk you through what?s new and why we think v5 is the best version of Fluent UI Blazor library yet.

Although we are now fully focused on delivering you a great v5 version of the library in the near future, we did manage to get an update for v4 out the door. This includes one highly demanded feature that warranted the jump to a new minor by itself. Read on to learn more...
