Sho Kuwamoto provides some context for their decision.
This week, we partnered with our friends at @AdobeXD and @sketch to move away from the "master component" terminology.

Predictably, we were met with a few replies from haters who thought we were being too "PC".

List view for color styles. In-line details for text styles. Search. The edit icon is available in the list view. Fantastic update!
Figma released Universal Search in April, and now they rolled out Deep Search, which allows to search for files that contain a given word or phrase.
Now you can adjust shadow spread in Figma on some kinds of objects to create better depth, glows, and borders. It’s fully compatible with the CSS property box-shadow
.
It seems like Figma is either rolling out or testing support for templates, but so far, it’s been available only to some people.
OMG @figmadesign has templates now?!?! It just keeps getting better and better omg ♥️♥️♥️ (source - @skd2492) pic.twitter.com/HnBbj6UHHQ

Better integrate Figma with your team’s favorite tools. Trigger actions in tools like Slack and Jira whenever a file or library is updated, commented on, published, and more.
You can now adjust the scale of Figma’s user interface in the Desktop App.
Now it’s possible to embed private Figma files into the tools used by the whole team, like Dropbox Paper, Notion, Coda, Jira, etc.
A beta channel for the desktop app is now available — you can run it side-by-side with the existing stable desktop app.
Figma’s VP of Product Yuhki Yamashita and special guests recap recent releases and give a few sneak peeks for what’s coming soon.

Click the target icon to select a color’s objects and change only them. Hit the styles icon to create a new style with a selected color, or apply an existing one.
Selection Colors has two new tricks!
— Figma (@figma) April 6, 2020
1. Use the target icon to select a color's objects & make adjustments to just those objects.
2. Hit the styles icon to create a new style with the selected color or apply an existing style.
