tl;dr: I would really appreciate a workflow change to write documentation updates before release and notifications immediately after.
A new way to handle the data source recently went through a major change in several components like Select, Listbox and Segmented Control. It significantly changes how you set the data source and how you read the values.
I think it is a very good change. But I had to figure it out myself, and I still don't know if I have discovered all the differences and their repercussions and new best practices and such. No announcement was made or updated documents made available. A change like this should maybe come with a Blog post that brings us fully onboard with the new way of doing things.
For minor changes like adding a single property or a new style color option, no broadcast announcement need be made, but the docs should still reflect the change right away.
For major changes like this recent one, more effort needs to be made to tell developers what they are and how to use them.
I check the What's new on Retool every week, but that has not been updated on the regular lately and the changes may have happened days earlier.
Maybe we need a What's New section on the forum that is updated every time a change is pushed out. Then we could Watch that section to get immediate updates of changes in our email.
