# Changelog July 15, 2022

## Redesigned components enter beta

Our redesigned components have entered private beta! This upgrade includes:

1. **Improved default styles** - Everything feels a bit more balanced and modern and by default.
2. **Vastly more customizability** - We're introducing an "appearance" prop that enables components to be customized with Tailwind, CSS Modules, or any styling solution that uses classnames.

Thanks to the contributors: Nikos Douvlis

## Free plan migration

Next week, we will be migrating customers from our old free plan to [our new free plan](https://clerk.com/pricing) that launched three weeks ago. This plan has a different set of features – more in some places, less in others – so we encourage everyone to verify the new plan still works for their business.

Impacted customers will also be notified by email.

## WAF infrastructure upgrade

Behind the scenes this week, we migrated to a new "Web Application Firewall."

As Clerk has grown, attacks on our service have (unfortunately) also grown more frequent. We use a Web Application Firewall to help prevent against account takeovers by [brute force attack](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Brute_force_attack).

All customers received this update for free and we did not detect any impact to latency, or to non-automated traffic.
