Zeit’s open source Next.js framework for static and server-rendered React applications compiles faster and improves error reporting with the new Version 7 release. Support for the WebAssembly binary format—via the Webpack 4 module bundler—is a key addition as well.
The new features in Next.js Version 7
Next.js 7 boots up 57 percent faster during development, Zeit says, thanks to optimizations in the code base and the use of both Webpack 4 and the Babel 7 JavaScript compiler. And an incremental compilation cache lets code changes build 40 percent faster.
