Summary

The upcoming Flux 1.0 release promises to bring several exciting features to users. One major change is the commitment to no longer making breaking changes to the Flux language, ensuring that existing scripts will continue to work without modification. The new `Editions` feature allows users to opt-in to new features without risking breaking changes, while `Modules` provide a way to share and reuse code within organizations. Label Polymorphism enables abstracting over data schema, and Dynamic Type allows for accurate representation of JSON data within Flux. These features are expected to be released behind specific editions or as part of the initial release, with some available today in experimental form. The Flux team has also emphasized their focus on quality and minimal changes, with a goal of releasing new editions only once per year.
