As the typescript api client is not exported it should not be breaking, right? So we can ship #3754 in a minor?

Test version

Yep this version needs an RC ...

[pat-s]

V3 RC1 is now out since two weeks. We haven't heard about any major issues so far. I'd like to get some of the UI-related PRs in (as they round up the picture of the new major version) and, if possible, #4614.

The only thing left then is to write a blog post.
