Hi does anyone know if the pack for Google Analytics has been updated to work with GA4 and the new tracking ID? @Pablo would you have to know?

It looks like the last version should be compatible with GA4.

The docs still have the UA Tracking ID placeholder in them. Do we still use this but add the new GA4 Tracking ID?
where are you seeing the above patch changes or where can I get that package?
packages: [
{
name: "@frontity/google-analytics",
state: {
googleAnalytics: {
trackingId: "UA-12345678-9",
},
},
},
],
};

I am not familiar with this package but I’d say yes.
It looks like the package signature didn’t change:
state: Analytics["state"] & {
/**
* State properties for the Google analytics package.
*/
googleAnalytics: {
/**
* Tracking ID associated to a Google Analytics account.
*/
trackingId?: string;
/**
* List of tracking IDs associated to a Google Analytics account.
*/
trackingIds?: string[];
/**
* JSON configuration object to include inside the `<amp-analytics>` tags,
* useful to add variables and triggers. Note that this props is only used
* when the `@frontity/amp` package is installed.
*
