* Streamlines the API and improves the UX when working with Weaviate
* Fully connects to Weaviate's new gRPC API for faster queries
* Ships with a fully autonomous dynamic batching algorithm for ease of data uploading
* Introduces strong typing of inputs and ouputs for Python-native safety
* Allows for the use of full typing hinting and generics to get the most out of your vectorised data
* See the [documentation](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/client-libraries/python) on the new features in the v4 client
* See the [migration guide](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/client-libraries/python#migration-guides) on how to upgrade from previous pre-release versions to this full release
* If you have troubles upgrading from v3 to v4 or find that your codebase no longer works upon the bump then please raise an issue on the board and we will see to it!
