Welcome back to our monthly roundup! Here’s what’s been up with us and the community lately.

Releases

For the last month, we’ve been working on quite a lot of enhancements and bug fixes to improve the experience with Frontity and ensure it remains reliable. Here are a few highlights:

• We made some improvements to the Frontity Embedded Mode plugin to make it more secure and easier to use.
• We migrated @frontity/connect to react-easy-state.
• Added an --analyze option to the dev and build commands to generate HTML files for bundle analysis.
• Modified the frontity create command so that it generates a tsconfig.json file and adds dev dependencies to package.json.

See the full release notes for more information on what’s new.

Special thanks to @orballo, @VinuRaj, @johnfrancisli and @Koli14 for their contributions to this release! 🙌

We’re also happy to announce new documentation, featuring:

• Guide to Redirections with Frontity
• Docs for the state.source.redirections property
• Docs for the Frontity Embedded Mode implementation
• Guide to Link Prefetching
