Luke Sandberg merged a critical build performance fix that prevents static site generation from blocking on Turbopack's telemetry flush. The change allows SSG and Turbopack persistence to run in parallel, reducing build times. Build tracing spans are now properly included in trace-build output.
Hendrik Liebau merged support for accessing root parameters in generateStaticParams functions. Developers can now use the special root-params import within generateStaticParams, enabling shared helpers that work in both Server Components and static generation without manually threading parameters.
Tobias Koppers merged improvements to webpack and Turbopack loader error messages. When loaders produce broken code, error messages now display both the original source and the generated output with source maps, making it significantly easier to debug loader issues.
Niklas Mischkulnig merged a cleanup removing unused layer information from the server actions manifest, along with improvements to the actions tree-shaking test suite that eliminates duplicate builds and uses descriptive snapshot names.
