Repos and packages

Avo 3 has been divided into various repositories and packages, organized by the specific feature or tier they are intended for. Within this structure, there are three main packages available: avo, avo-pro, and avo-advanced. Depending on your license, you need to manually include one of these packages in your Gemfile. Note that both avo-pro and avo-advanced come with additional packages that serve as their dependencies.

Feedback

I'd love it if we could have an open forum with the open beta program. I created an #avo-3 channel on Discord where I invite you all to provide feedback and ask for support. We appreciate all types of feedback from the API changes, to design work, and any idea you might have.

Documentation

We started the process to redo and reorganize the 3.0 docs, so if we missed anything, please let us know.
