🌟 What's New in This Release
🚀 Legacy Code Removal
Legacy Code Removal: We removed the legacy OpenBB Terminal code. Don’t worry, you can still access this legacy code! It's safely archived in our [Legacy Terminal Repository](https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/LegacyTerminal) and preserved in the git history for any nostalgic devs.

AGPL License Adoption: We've upgraded to the AGPL license to better align with our community's values and future goals.

🔒 Security Improvements
Major Security Upgrade: With the legacy code in the rearview, we've upgraded our defenses. This major security enhancement ensures that your experience on the OpenBB Platform is safer and more secure than ever.
🦋 OpenBB Platform Enhancements
Release 4.2.0 introduces a number of features and improvements to OpenBB Platform. Web security has been enhanced by updating frontend components and dependencies to patched versions. The OpenBB Platform CLI's testing coverage has been expanded through the addition of unit tests and the update of GitHub workflows.
The release also brings new enhancements to the 'reference.json'. Now, custom provider choices are available in the reference, which can be leveraged by clients for diverse purposes. Additional functionalities include Forward PE estimates to the equity.estimates router, update to the CLI README documentation, and removal of old code.
A notable feature is the creation of a 'repo assets directory'. The intention behind this is to define instructions and credentials in the Provider class to avoid downstream applications scraping the repo and potentially encountering randomly deleted files.
