4.06 soon too.

[omeid]

4.06 is out.

[struktured]

4.06.1 is out. This needs to actually be prioritized. There is a large difference between 4.02 and 4.06 versions, restricting our usage of 4.06 code on the front end.

What are the best ways people can start contributing to the upgrade? Is there a branch for this or what needs to happen first? Bspack?
