React has not had a _stable_ release since June 2022.<p>They publish "experimental" releases on a near-daily basis, and have had numerous "canary" releases.<p>They talked about the "canary" strategy early in 2023:<p>- <a href="https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries" rel="nofollow">https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries</a><p>The React team has recently started discussing plans for React 19, which is in the works:<p>- <a href="https://twitter.com/sebastienlorber/status/1747633798374625525" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/sebastienlorber/status/17476337983746255...</a><p>- <a href="https://twitter.com/acdlite/status/1719474730363662473" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/acdlite/status/1719474730363662473</a><p>- <a href="https://twitter.com/rickhanlonii/status/1747338240099487877" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/rickhanlonii/status/1747338240099487877</a><p>- <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11347#issuecomment-1899140345">https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11347#issuecomment-...</a><p>(to be clear, I've been pretty vocal about the lack of a stable release and the annoying versioning strategy myself. but React is very much _not_ "dead".)
Not looking forward to the next version assuming they will keep the `fetch` monkeypatch:<p>- <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/72411c45f94565c30215b51cbadb16fcc3479d37/packages/react/src/ReactFetch.js#L130">https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/72411c45f94565c30215b...</a>
OK that's kind of interesting, as I would have expected at least some bug fixes and minor updates?<p>They do have a lot of PRs merged, and on their npm page I see many canary versions though: <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=versions" rel="nofollow">https://www.npmjs.com/package/react?activeTab=versions</a><p>Maybe someone could enlighten what's happening
