+
+Improve customization of the notification snackbar.
+
+Users can now customize the notification snackbar by providing custom components and icons
+for different severity levels. Additionally, the location of the snackbar notifications
+can be modified, the density of the snackbar can be changed, and the number of snacks can
+be limited.
