First, prerendering now returns the right response. In pull request 99078, a prerendered page that throws not found, unauthorized, forbidden, or a redirect inside Suspense now preserves the correct H T T P status and redirect location, while keeping the layout and fallback so the client can recover at the right…
Second, Turbopack tree shaking gets a stability sweep. Four merged fixes from pull requests 95516, 95522, 95529 and 95781 address incorrect or crashing builds: empty shaken chunks no longer shift part identifiers, the internal client reference proxy is no longer split, import with clauses are preserved when binding…
