Release 129
We’ll end the year with a new release, and this one contains quite a few fixes, quality of life improvements, and new features. There’s new token types that get us closer to the design tokens format, new ways of working with native Figma Styles and a bunch of quality of life improvements. As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback you’re giving us on Slack and other channels, it helps us build this in the right way.
