+## 👋 Hello from Paste!
+
+It’s been a while since we’ve hit your inbox, so we wanted to introduce ourselves in case you’re new or haven’t hit us up in a while. We’ve been hard at work collaborating with the Brand, Commerce, and AI teams (on Voice, Flex, and Messaging), but as always, we’re available on [Github Discussions](https://github.com/twilio-labs/paste/discussions) and [office hours](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10vD91zdwr9hjgDOV3HSGnoC0LgvYw-thmn3X_kvW0xk/edit?gid=800758837#gid=800758837).

+
+## 📣 What was new in Paste?
+
+### 🚀 React 19 support 🚀
+
+The latest version release includes full support for Paste within a React 19 app. No changes should be necessary for consuming applications – this change should be 100% backwards compatible (with a minimum of React v17.0.2). Please let us know if you experience any issues by [opening a Github Discussion](https://github.com/twilio-labs/paste/discussions/new/choose).
+
+*Note: only the three latest versions of React are supported with Paste, so React 16 support is no longer guaranteed.*
+
+### Elevation foundations
+
+<Box width="100%" maxWidth="600px" display="block" margin="0 auto">
+  <ResponsiveBorderedImage src={Elevation} alt="Elevation foundations documentation" />
+</Box>
+
+Elevation represents how "close" or "far" an element feels from the user in a digital context, using a combination of shadows, colors and overlays to create a layering effect, making elements feel distinct, focused or prioritized. [Take a look at the new guidelines](/foundations/elevation) for context on styles used in Paste components or for direction on styling your own custom components with elevation.
+
+### Figma wireframe theme
+
+<Box width="100%" maxWidth="600px" display="block" margin="0 auto">
+  <ResponsiveBorderedImage src={Wireframe} alt="Figma wireframe theme" />
+</Box>
+
+A wireframe theme is now available in Figma! This theme can help with testing design concepts, presenting early work, and learning and iterating rapidly.
+
+Huge thanks to **Sam Muñoz** for contributing this theme, and his amazing work in learning about theming in Paste and iterating quickly based on feedback. [Watch this video on how to apply the wireframe theme](https://www.loom.com/share/cea84863304c437ca1ecb95df560f010?sid=5ecd699b-5e26-47b9-8b43-e6fcbe834f71), and send Sam any feedback you have.
+
+If you’re an engineer who would find a theme like this helpful in code, please reach out to us in a [Github Discussion](https://github.com/twilio-labs/paste/discussions)
+
+### Keyboard Key component
+
+<Box width="100%" maxWidth="400px" display="block" margin="0 auto">
+  <ResponsiveBorderedImage src={KeyboardKey} alt="Keyboard Key component example" />
+</Box>
+
+[Keyboard Key](/components/keyboard-key) is a styled text component intended to differentiate keyboard commands and shortcuts from other types of text. The component also includes a `pressed` state, adjusting styles to provide feedback to the user when the given key is active.
+
+### Blockquote and Example Text components
+
+<Box width="100%" maxWidth="400px" display="block" margin="0 auto">
+  <ResponsiveBorderedImage src={Blockquote} alt="Blockquote and Example Text components" />
+</Box>
+
+A [Blockquote](/components/blockquote) is a stylized text wrapper for a quotation and source, while [Example Text](/components/example-text) is a stylized text wrapper that distinguishes user input examples from body text. Both can be used to enhance readability and understanding of written text.
+
+### Typewriter animations in AI Chat Log
+
+<Box marginBottom="space60" display="flex" justifyContent="center">
+    <Box
+      as={Image}
+      maxWidth="80%"
+      borderColor="colorBorderWeaker"
+      borderStyle="solid"
+      borderWidth="borderWidth10"
+      borderRadius="borderRadius20"
+      height="100%"
+      src={AI}
+      alt="AI Chat Log with typewriter animations"
+      style={{ objectFit: "contain" }}
+    />
+</Box>
+
+
+[Typewriter animations](/components/ai-chat-log#animating) now work out-of-the-box on the AI Chat Log component. Use the animated prop on messages returned from the AI in order to implement the typewriter animations. The animations will perform well even with non-text components in the body of the AI message.
+
+### Additional updates
+
+- Combobox (Figma): Added a slot to Combobox options
+- [Icons](/components/icon): Added rich content icons for Content Template Builder in Flex and Messaging
+- [Side Modal](/components/side-modal): Footer actions are now aligned on the left by default
+- [Side Panel](/components/side-panel): Zhuzh’d the responsive behavior
