I’ve got good news and better news. The good news is that Apollo Client 4.0 alphas are now being released:

> **[Release v4.0.0-alpha.1 · apollographql/apollo-client](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/releases/tag/v4.0.0-alpha.1)**
>
> Major Changes
> 
> 
> \#12433 b86e50b Thanks @phryneas! - Remove workarounds for streaming with non-WhatWG response bodies to reduce bundle size.
> This removes support for fetch implementations that return...

The better news is that this comes with ESM support and a significantly smaller bundle size, see the changelog for the full feature set.

Even better news is that the number of backwards-incompatible changes is going to be fairly small, so adopting it today should not be a large burden for most codebases.

Please give it a try in your dev environments as soon as you can! The more early feedback we get, the better and smoother our stable release will be 🙂
