3.4.0

We’re excited to introduce the new [elsa-extensions](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-extensions) repository — the new home for all official Elsa extensions!

This new project provides a clean separation between the Elsa core runtime and optional integrations, making it easier to evolve and maintain both independently. As of version 3.6.0, the following modules have been moved from elsa-core to elsa-extensions:

• Agents
• AzureServiceBus
• Telnyx
• OrchardCore

Additionally, we’re welcoming a brand-new module: Slack integration, allowing workflows to easily post messages to Slack channels.

Going forward, more modules will continue to transition from elsa-core to elsa-extensions as part of our ongoing effort to streamline the Elsa ecosystem. Stay tuned!
