What’s new in Forma 36: Upgraded Figma libraries and React components

Forma 36, Contentful's design system, has recently undergone significant updates, enhancing both its Figma libraries and React components. The Figma libraries have been restructured into Tokens, Components, and Assets, improving navigation, performance, and future scalability. These updates also align design and code more closely, with components, tokens, and icons now matching production use. The React library has been upgraded from React 16 to React 19, improving performance and compatibility without breaking existing component usage. Additionally, the system now uses Phosphor Icons for a unified style and has introduced semantic versioning for better version control and change tracking. These enhancements aim to create a more consistent, accessible, and cohesive design and development experience, inviting community contributions to further strengthen the system.
