In July, we began announcing Next.js security releases ahead of time. The next security release is planned for August 26, 2026.
It will address one critical severity vulnerability with fixes in 16.3.2 and 15.5.24, so upgrade once they are available.

We're the Next.js team. Ask us anything!
We recently shipped Next.js 16.3, and we’re excited to talk about what’s new, how we approached the release, where we are going, and what we’ve learned while building and maintaining Next.
Ask us anything about Next 16.3, App Router, React Server Components, performance, caching, upgrading your applications, contributing to the framework, or what it’s like to work on Next.js.
Instant Navigations in Next.js 16.3 lets you achieve snappy, app-like UX without giving up the benefits of Server Components.
See how Cache Components and Partial Prefetching come together in a music player, social feed, calendar, and team chat.

You can run the loop on your own app.
Grab the Skill and prompt your agent with something like:
"Make the navigation from /dashboard to /projects instant using the next-cache-components-optimizer Skill."

Navigations in v0 got ~3.5× faster with Next.js 16.3.
An agent ran this loop on each slow nav:
1. Write a failing 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚝() test
2. Apply a fix from the Skill
3. Re-run the test
4. Repeat 2–3 until it passes

When the network drops, requests normally throw. The experimental 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚕.𝚞𝚜𝚎𝙾𝚏𝚏𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 flag keeps them pending and retries on reconnect.
A companion 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝙾𝚏𝚏𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 hook reports when you're offline, so you can render some UI to let your users know.

The React Compiler optimizes your components at build time, letting you skip manual memoization.
The React team built a Rust port of it, which we run in Turbopack instead of Babel. We tried this experimental version on v0: 34% faster to a ready page cold, 46% warm.
