Notable new features

In this release we have focused on enhancing the search components and bug fixing
We continue to keep a balance between improving existing components, adding new ones, and also improving the underlying architecture to prepare for future update to Angular 12.

Multiple search configuration

Thanks this new component is now possible have multiple facet search configurations:

Facet Search chips layout

Our designers have identified a new improved style for the facet filters, and we have implemented it in the new chips layout component.
This style will be the new facet filter for ACA but if you like you can still use the old style using the previous component.
