React Native 0.81: Android 16, FlashList v2, and More!

React Native 0.81 brings exciting updates! It now supports Android 16 (API level 36), introducing edge-to-edge display and deprecating SafeAreaView (migrate to react-native-safe-area-context). The built-in JavaScriptCore engine has shifted to a community-maintained package. Node.js 20.19.4 or higher is now required.

FlashList v2: A Ground-Up Rewrite

Shopify's FlashList v2, a high-performance list component for React Native, has been completely rewritten for React Native's new architecture. This revamp boasts improved scrolling, precision, and horizontal list support.

Next.js 15.5: Turbopack in Beta

Next.js 15.5 introduces production Turbopack builds as a beta feature, resulting in significantly faster site builds. Turbopack is already powering major websites like Vercel.com, showcasing its performance and stability.

SvelteKit: Edge Environments Support

SvelteKit now supports edge environments, enabling functionality in places where fs.readFile isn't available, including Cloudflare Workers and Netlify/Vercel edge functions. Remote functions can be called anywhere, always executing on the server.
