Good morning. This is your Frigate NVR update for March 12th, 2026.
Yesterday saw significant development activity with five merged pull requests addressing both frontend modernization and hardware expansion.
Josh Hawkins merged the most substantial change - a React 19 compatibility update that replaces react-tracked and react-use-websocket with React's native useSyncExternalStore. This 426-line addition addresses React 19's removal of useReducer eager bailout, which broke the existing proxy-based state management. The new implementation uses per-topic WebSocket subscriptions for more efficient rendering and fixes a TimeAgo component bug where older events refreshed every second instead of every minute.
GuoQing Liu merged initial support for AXERA AI accelerators, adding a new detector plugin and comprehensive documentation. This expands Frigate's hardware compatibility beyond existing AI accelerators, with Docker integration and installation guides included.
Hawkins also merged three smaller improvements: push notifications now respect user role camera access permissions, tracked object detail navigation buttons remain visible during use, and nginx now supports HTTP/2 to overcome browser connection limits.
Additional commits formalized these merges, with the React refactoring and AXERA support representing the most significant changes, along with the HTTP/2 nginx enhancement.
What's next: The React 19 migration positions Frigate for modern frontend development, while AXERA support broadens hardware options for AI inference. Documentation updates suggest these features are production-ready.
That's your Frigate update. We'll be back tomorrow with more development news.
