The document discusses LeanIX 4.0 called "Pathfinder", which provides a complete rewrite of the LeanIX core using new technologies like GraphQL and microservices. Key changes in Pathfinder include improved usability through features like drag and drop, a more flexible data model with custom fields, and an optimized API. The transition to Pathfinder will start in Q1/2017, with the goal of ensuring a smooth migration for customers while extending LeanIX's capabilities in enterprise architecture.
