November 2025 (Frontify/fondue) delivered key features, accessibility improvements, and API modernization with measurable business value. Core UI enhancements include icon rendering and sizing improvements (including an xx-small icon size) and Textarea API modernization with forwardRef and a new slots system. A SplitButton was introduced to streamline primary actions with a dropdown for additional options. Accessibility and consistency were strengthened via Dialog focus management when no focusable elements and an Accordion padding fix when border=false. The Fondue theming hook was hardened to always return a defined direction (default 'ltr') with accompanying tests. Additional quality work included documentation corrections for the Select component and a ColorPicker input normalization flow.
