Next.js Daily: Chasing Down Deprecation Warnings and Cache Bugs
The team spent September 2nd hunting hidden reliability issues, from a test harness leaking thousands of deprecation warnings to router state bugs in both the App and Pages routers, alongside a Turbopack cache compression rollout that cuts disk usage by roughly twenty percent.

Good morning, it's September 3rd, and this is Next.js Daily.
The biggest story today isn't one big feature, it's a coordinated cleanup of technical debt that's been quietly causing pain. Sebastian Silbermann's trace-deprecation CI experiment, PR 98183, surfaced that a single outdated import chain in the test harness was responsible for roughly eight thousand of the run's…
The second theme is router correctness. Three separate fixes landed for subtle state bugs: PR 98174 stops config redirects from misfiring on internal data requests when middleware is present, while PR 98182 and PR 98187 both fix a Pages Router bug where a prefetch marker was being mismatched or handed back as if it…
On performance, Luke Sandberg's per-family compression work for the Turbopack cache, PR 97714, is worth remembering: real-world testing showed about a twenty percent reduction in cache size with negligible read regression, by using faster compression for latency-sensitive metadata and heavier compression for the…
Looking ahead: watch for the SWC v77 upgrade in PR 97407, which changes AST shapes project-wide, and keep an eye on the force-gate test fixes since they affect how skipped suites behave in CI.
