⚠️ Manually require some dependencies
In our efforts to slim down Avo's requirements to include only what we truly need, we removed some gems from our general requirements. So you'll need to require them yourself in your `Gemfile`.
We documented that thoroughly in the [upgrade guide](https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/upgrade.htm..., but the gist is that you need to add the following to your `Gemfile`.
```ruby
Minimal authorization through OO design and pure Ruby classes
gem "pundit"
Active Storage makes it simple to upload and reference files
gem "activestorage"
High-level image processing wrapper for libvips and ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick
gem "image_processing"
All sorts of useful information about every country packaged as convenient little country objects.
gem "countries"
Create beautiful JavaScript charts with one line of Ruby
gem "chartkick"
```

Update your license URL
In our last newsletter, we mentioned that we're not enforcing the one application/license rule yet, but we'll start doing that from November 25th (one month from now). So, please go to your [licenses](https://avohq.io/licenses) page and update the URL or IP to match the one you're using for each license.
We're in the process of updating that section of the app, so you'll see some changes in the coming week.
We're here if you need support with updating that information.
🎉 Surprise incoming
We're working on something nice, but we're not quite ready to unveil it. We think you'll ❤️ it.
