Good evening, this is React Daily for May 29th, 2026.
eps1lon merged three major pull requests unifying the release process across React's version branches. The changes backport a unified release system to the 19.0.x, 19.1.x, and 19.2.x release branches, allowing releases to be triggered directly from CI. Each merge removed over 1,400 lines of code while adding…
The same contributor also merged three additional pull requests backporting FormData fixes to these version branches. These changes address an issue where FormData entries were being dropped in the `decodeReplyFromBusboy` function across multiple React Server DOM packages including webpack, turbopack, and ESM variants.
unstubbable merged a performance improvement for React Flight Server that prevents main-thread stalls when serializing large debug strings. The fix addresses bottlenecks in both the Flight Client parser and React DevTools when handling multi-megabyte strings in debug information for Server Components.
What's next:
- The unified release process should streamline React's version management across all active branches
