V4 is a complete rewrite of the plugin. Many long-standing issues are now resolved, and most functionality has been reintroduced. You can read this note for more info on the changes: https://github.com/SkepticMystic/breadcrumbs/blob/master/V4.md
V4 is still in beta, and only accessible via the BRAT plugin. If you’re an existing Breadcrumbs user, make sure you understand what’s different by reading the link above, and checking the latest issues on the repo (with “V4” in their name). But for the most part, backwards-compatibility has been preserved. If you’re new to Breadcrumbs, there’s never been a better time to get started!
