Astro

astro@7.2.0 — Aug 6, 2026

  • Experimental incremental static builds (experimental.incrementalBuild): pages from getStaticPaths() that return a cacheKey are skipped when neither their modules nor their data changed — persist node_modules/.astro/ in CI and large static sites stop paying full rebuild cost. Content collection entries get an optional digest to use as that key.
  • session: false opts out of session support and tree-shakes the session runtime (and unstorage) out of the SSR bundle.
  • astro preview --background with status / logs / stop subcommands — preview servers get the same background treatment dev servers got in 7.0, auto-enabled for AI coding agents.
  • logger.entrypoint now accepts project-relative paths ('./src/logger.js') instead of requiring a hand-built URL.

Node.js

v26.7.0 — Aug 5, 2026

  • Perfetto tracing support; private keys loadable through OpenSSL STORE loaders; Symbol.dispose implemented in ModuleHooks; new --test-coverage-include-all.

v26.6.0 — Aug 3, 2026

  • The test runner gains context.log and a test:log event; ffi gets getCurrentEventLoop.

v24.19.0 — Aug 3, 2026

  • LTS backports: blob.textStream, --experimental-import-text, TCP_KEEPINTVL/TCP_KEEPCNT, and the httpValidation option.

CSS / Web platform

v3.35.0 — Aug 17, 2026

  • New tracked features: scroll promises, text modules, and plural position-visibility for anchor positioning.
  • ⚠ anchors-valid / anchors-visible were added as a discouraged feature — don’t build on those.

v3.34.3 — Aug 3, 2026

  • Baseline widely available: Array.fromAsync and AVIF.

Browsers

v8.0.11 — Aug 13, 2026

  • text-box-trim on inline elements and top-layer ancestor-matching boundaries for :hover/:active/:focus-within enter the data.

v8.0.9 — Aug 3, 2026

  • New compat data: Navigator.cpuPerformance and the CSS param() type; Edge 154 added.

Material UI

v9.3.0 — Aug 5, 2026

  • ⚠ Toggle Button Group keyboard navigation switched to the roving tabindex pattern — a behavior change if your tests tab through the group.
  • Autocomplete announces loading / no-options through a new status slot (aria-live), and menu items get aria-checked for checkbox/radio roles.
  • Grouped buttons, checkboxes, and radios now respect a global disableRipple from MuiButtonBase defaultProps.

React Hook Form

v7.85.0 — Aug 8, 2026

  • Support for React’s <Activity /> component.

v7.84.0 — Aug 1, 2026

  • Enhanced <Form /> submit behavior; performance improved and bundle size reduced.

i18next

v26.4.0 — Aug 20, 2026

  • toResolveHierarchy results cached per (code, fallbackCode) pair — it runs on every t call, so hot paths get cheaper.

Konva

10.3.1 — Aug 15, 2026

  • Transformer performance improved with many attached nodes; text layout hot-path optimizations.

Sentry JS

10.70.0 — Aug 10, 2026

  • Native uv tool tasks are now cached.

v2.10.10 — Aug 14, 2026

  • ShadCN-compatible chart catalog with renderer-owned tooltips.

v0.7.0 — Aug 7, 2026
