Message components are now available with our first two components: a layout-based `ActionRow` and...buttons!

You can now include buttons on messages sent by your app, whether they're bot messages or responses to interactions. [Learn more about message components](/docs/components/overview).

The addition of message components means new fields and response types:

* An optional `components` field has been added to the [message object](/docs/resources/message#message-object)
* New response types `6` and `7` have been added for [interaction responses](/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-response-object-interaction-callback-type), valid only for component-based interactions
