remix-run/remix remix@1.16.1

v1.16.1

on GitHub

Continuing the work to stabilize features for v2, this release brings improvements to unstable_dev as well as a bunch of bug fixes.

Dev server power-ups 🦾🤖

We've made two huge improvements to 🔥 Hot Data Revalidation 🔥 in 1.16.1! For anyone who needs a refresher on HDR, its like HMR but for your server code. In Remix, that primarily means tracking loader changes.

In 1.16.0, Remix would trigger HDR even if only UI code had changed. Now in 1.16.1, Remix only triggers HDR when loaders have changed. (#6278)

Also, in 1.16.1, Remix now detects code changes that affect your loader anywhere in your app code. You can modify the loader itself, or a function that the loader calls, or hardcoded data. Remix now only triggers HDR to fetch new data from routes with loader changes. For example, if you changed your /products/$id loader, but not your /products loader, Remix only refetches data for /products/$id. (#6299)

If you want to dive deeper into how it works and get a mental model for the new dev server with HDR, check out 🎥 Pedro's talk at Remix Conf.
