+
+After three and a half years worth of updates to our Modus Web Components library we've just [published v1.0.0](https://github.com/trimble-oss/modus-web-components/releases/tag/v1.0.0)!
+
+We've been working hard on improving the library. Here are some of the highlights from our progress this year:
+
+## Component Updates
+
+We've added lots of new features, and fixed a lot of issues across most of our components.
+
+In particular, the [Table component](https://modus-web-components.trimble.com/?path=/docs/components-table--docs) has seen a huge number of improvements.
+
+## Storybook v8 Update
+
+The Modus Web Components site has had a big update to the latest version of Storybook which brings with it an improved user interface, faster load times and many other quality of life updates.
+
+## Deploy Previews - powered by Netlify

+
+We are now using Netlify's Deploy Previews feature to preview changes to our components library on every pull request made - even from external contributors. This has been a huge improvement for our workflow, as it allows us to see changes in real-time and test them before merging them into the main branch.
+
+We were happy to talk with Netlify about our experience using the platform for a [post on the Netlify blog](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2024/05/09/trimble-modus-design-system/).
+
+## External Contributors
+
+<img src="/img/news/austin-oneil.jpg" alt="" height="" width="128" class="float-end bg-light p-2 rounded">
+
+The Modus Web Components library has always been open source, MIT licensed and available for anyone to use and contribute to.
+
+We've been really happy that [Austin O'Neil](https://github.com/austinoneil), a front-end developer from the community, has been contributing to the project (he's now had 19 Pull Requests merged!) and has been a great help in improving the library.
+
+Thanks Austin!
