Squad, Please let modders know how the "new gui" affects them before it goes public

There's been several references to a new gui system coming out with 0.25 when it eventually comes.

I expect this to really break a lot of mods - many mods open windows using Unity's current gui tools. One problem with new releases is that mod writers can't start altering their mods to match until after the new code is released - they can't even prep for it.

Could we get a preview of what is likely to be different about the gui? Not necessarily a full release, obviously, but just something along the lines of "if you use this or this or this or this API call, that's the stuff we'll be changing, so get ready to have to alter those parts of your mod."

They've referenced that for each of the last 3 patches. First there was the GUI to activate the asteroids, then there was the GUI for the mission control, now there is the GUI for the administration building. They aren't talking about a re-do of the existing GUI... sadly, since we all know the parts selector needs it badly.
