React has not had a new release since June 2022

OK that's kind of interesting, as I would have expected at least some bug fixes and minor updates? They do have a lot of PRs merged, and on their npm page I see many canary versions though: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=versions https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=versions Maybe someone could enlighten what's happening

React has not had a _stable_ release since June 2022. They publish "experimental" releases on a near-daily basis, and have had numerous "canary" releases. They talked about the "canary" strategy early in 2023: - https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries The React team has recently started discussing plans for React 19, which is in the works: - https://twitter.com/sebastienlorber/status/1747633798374625525 https://twitter.com/sebastienlorber/status/17476337983746255... - https://twitter.com/acdlite/status/1719474730363662473 https://twitter.com/acdlite/status/1719474730363662473 - https://twitter.com/rickhanlonii/status/1747338240099487877 https://twitter.com/rickhanlonii/status/1747338240099487877 - https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11347#issuecomment-1899140345 https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11347#issuecomment-... (to be clear, I've been pretty vocal about the lack of a stable release and the annoying versioning strategy myself. but React is very much _not_ "dead".)

  I'd still expect some bug fixes though, or security updates? Also I wonder if they ought to be using the 'prerelease' checkbox on Github. It lets you mark a release as not really a release, and maintains a history

Not looking forward to the next version assuming they will keep the `fetch` monkeypatch: - https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/72411c45f94565c30215b51cbadb16fcc3479d37/packages/react/src/ReactFetch.js#L130 https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/72411c45f94565c30215b...

  Why the heck is a view library monkeypatching fetch??

    It stopped being a view library a while back. I mean server side components are now a major direction for the project.

React Forget is going to be huge. If I had to bet, it'll be released in a beta at react conf in may.

Holy Ahriman. How can you use a library that hasn't had 10 updates in the past 36 hours? Time to switch to the new hotness!
