| ## Upgrading from deck.gl v4 to v4.1 | ||
|
|
||
| A highly compatible release, the biggest change is that deck.gl v4.1 brings in luma.gl v4. It is a highly compatible release but there are some changes. If you are writing deck.gl layers using luma.gl classes, please refer to the Upgrade Guide for luma.gl. | ||
| deck.gl v4.1 is a backward-compatible release. Most of the functionality and APIs remain unchanged but there are smaller changes that might requires developers' attention if they /**develop their own layers**. |

backward compatible release with v4.0 (maybe redundant for those who's familiar with semver)
