There's some discussion in this thread:

I'm a little disappointed, since they promised us unimesh and a new figure. End users probably won't really notice, though. Hopefully this means no unimesh yet, not that they've given up on it. As I understand it, unimesh support/figures will make Poser more compatible with other software, making it easier to import and export stuff.

Note, unimesh as DAZ used the term a couple of decades ago is not what they're talking about here. No unimesh support doesn't mean you can't use V4. It's a completely different definition of unimesh.

Speaking about Unimesh, actually already a included feature since Poser Pro 2014. Just not commonly used by creators, some do use it but but these creators can be counted on one hand. When SM released that feature there were not many interested creators using that feature so they kept on using the common way. Guess it was caused due the support of V4 that is not a unimesh built figure. Unimesh rigging feature is found in the skinning method in Poser it is just named differently. So unmesh would be nothing else then renaming a existing feature. Questionable is if Creators are ever willing to use this method in the future as majority never did until now.
