Welcome to Keeping up with Kibana! This is a weekly series of posts on new developments in the Kibana project and any related learning resources and events. 


Design

  • [UI Framework] Define consistent default, small, and wide sizing for form fields, and support them within ExpressionItems #12190

Discovery

Platform

  • The initial new Platform pull request was merged into a feature branch (`new-platform`), where will keep working on it until it’s ready for a PR into master.
