The lead pattern today is Vapor catching up to the virtual DOM. Most of the activity fixes cases where Vapor behaved differently from what developers already expect.
First, forms. In pull request 15646, a listener written next to a native v-model ran before the model updated, so a select handler read the previous country and an input search lagged one keystroke behind. A related open fix, pull request 15648, re-syncs select v-model when its options change, like when options…
Second, component and style layering. Pull request 15631 fixes dynamic components remounting on every navigation between same-type routes, losing local state and breaking cached pages under Keep Alive. And pull request 15642 preserves a root element's own class and style when fallthrough values from a parent are…
Finally, one core fix stands apart for performance. Pull request 15645 stops wrapping native array iterators in place for deep reactive arrays.
