First, pull request 99612 fixes restores triggered by push state, replace state, back and forward navigation, and pages restored from the back-forward cache. The router updates were intended to run inside a transition, but the action queue applied results in a later microtask, outside that scope. Anything that…
Related work in pull request 99611 covers client params and search params under Cache Components. Those values are already known on the client during a shallow render, but a fresh promise each render forced a suspend for a few hundred milliseconds — enough to drop focus and keystrokes in an input. The promise is now…
Second theme: Turbopack runtime efficiency and correctness. Pull request 98947 moves the module cache to a Map, with measured gains in module execution time, while pull request 98932 trims export protocol overhead by tagging only getter exports, which are about ten percent of cases. On the backend, pull requests…
