Async Dynamic APIs, PPR stable, React 19 support, Turbopack dev stable.
Execute code after a response has finished streaming. Useful for logging, analytics, and side-effects that should not block the response.
Explicitly opt a component into dynamic rendering. Replaces the pattern of reading unstable headers/cookies just to force dynamic.
fetch() now defaults to no-store semantics in Server Components. Previously defaulted to force-cache.
These APIs are now async and return Promises. Accessing synchronously throws in strict mode.
next/dynamic is deprecated for App Router. Use React.lazy() with Suspense for code-splitting in the App Router.
Turbopack dev improvements, memory optimizations, build tracing enhancements.
25% reduction in local server memory usage. Persistent caching improvements reduce cold start by up to 60%.
Configure client-side router cache duration for static and dynamic routes independently.
More accurate output file tracing reduces serverless bundle sizes by 10–20%.
