Hi everyone!

Wondering why the newsletter is late this week?
Well, we had good reasons!

React v19.2 has just been released with the highly anticipated <Activity> component, useEffectEvent hook, and more!

React Native also had exciting updates, notably an OS from Amazon with first-class React Native support, and upcoming solutions to integrate even more tightly with native platforms.

Don't forget that React Conf starts next week, on October 7. The schedule is online, full of interesting talks, and we can expect more exciting announcements!

Hi everyone!

Krzysztof and Tymek from Software Mansion here! 👋

In this issue, as always, we have some great news prepared for you. On the React side, TanStack Start has been announced in Release Candidate, React Router expands RSC support to its Framework Mode, and the official ESLint plugin for React Hooks is now exhaustively documented.

However, on the React Native side, we have a bit less than usual news for you. Perhaps this is because autumn has begun (and the world overall has become gloomy), or maybe it's because there is a slight silence that heralds a storm in our React world?

Well, as we know, React Conf is coming up, so everyone is probably postponing their announcements and releases until October 7. 😉

We hope you enjoy this edition and that during this cloudy season, each of you will stay healthy!
Let's get started! 🤗

Hi everyone!

As promised, this week is quite exciting, with a very powerful React core <Activity> component now in canary, close to becoming stable. We also have a massive Expo SDK 54 release!

npm supply chain attacks continue, this time with a Shai-Hulud worm that infects open-source maintainers and automatically publishes compromised packages. Great timing for pnpm 10.16 to come up with a new mitigation option.

Hi everyone!

This week is relatively calm in terms of React news, but I’m saving an exciting React core update for next week, so don't miss my next email 👀!

On the React Native side, we have so many links that it’s a bit overwhelming 😆 And Expo SDK 54 is not even out yet!

Beware of the massive npm supply chain attack affecting very popular packages such as chalk and debug. To mitigate the impact of compromised dependencies, package managers such as pnpm and Yarn are considering an option to avoid installing freshly published packages. This could give enough time for security scanners to report vulnerabilities.

Hi everyone!

This week, we have a very diverse set of React news, but my eyes are on the React Native announcements made at React Universe Conf. Apparently, React Native 1.0 is on the horizon, and we have a bunch of related memes!

Hi everyone!

It seems that the React community is already back from vacation, as we have a whole series of interesting articles and releases. I also found interesting PRs and discussions to check out!

Nx user? Beware of the current critical supply chain attack.

Hi everyone! Kacper and Krzysztof from Software Mansion here! 👋

After a short summer break, we’re happy to say we’re back! I think we could open a public swimming pool because we’re drowning in the amount of content this week.

This week was full of big releases: Vercel released Next.js 15.5, React Native 0.81 was launched, and last but not least, we finally have the long-awaited FlashList 2 with great performance and cool features.

So let’s get into it!

Hi everyone!

This week, we have a few interesting React releases, many of them from the TanStack ecosystem. I also found great articles and interesting PRs to look at.

On the React Native side, reducing iOS build times will be a very welcome improvement, and Rozenite could significantly improve the React Native DX too!

A TC39 meeting is in progress, and I’ve also heard TS 5.9 and Node 22.18 (the first LTS to unflag type stripping) are both around the corner!

The newsletter will be taking a well-deserved 2-week break 🏝️
We'll be back on August 20. Until then, keep Reacting ✌️

Hi everyone!

Apparently, not everyone is on vacation yet because it's a great week.

On the React side, we have an early version of React Server Components support in React Router, and a new comprehensive React Compiler docs.

It's even more exciting for React Native developers: Reanimated v4 is now stable, and Screens now support native tabs, coming soon in Expo!

I also take the opportunity to warn that an npm phishing attack is currently in progress, targeting maintainers of popular packages. Don't trust any email coming from npmjs.org, they are spoofed.

Hi everyone! Tomek and Tymek from Software Mansion here! 👋

This week, we're coming with some interesting announcements and even more noteworthy news. Next.js 15.4 has been announced, bringing full Turbopack support and stability improvements.

On the React Native side, 0.81 is getting closer and closer to us as the new release candidate shows and there’s a couple of new announcements around react-native-worklets, react-native-wallet, and Module Federation Metro and Node API support for React Native.

We hope you are already excited because there is much more interesting news to come.

Let's get into it!
