Feature
2020 has been an excellent year for Next.js. The creators have invested heavily in improving both the developer experience and the performance of the framework. One of the main ideas behind Version 10 was to reduce the amount of JavaScript code that browsers have to load, and reduce the size of the code within the framework.
This new version automatically optimizes images using a new next/image component, improves routing, and enhances the built-in Next.js Analytics module. If you want to see the announcement, go to Next.js’ blog.
Live Deployment Previews for Drupal Core
In the past, live reviewing and testing in Drupal has been a domain for experienced Drupal developers only, which alienated non-technical users. In a move to empower content editors and designers, the open source platform has allied with Tugboat.qa to offer automated and on-demand deployment previews to accelerate development.
With this integration, the CMS expects that automated deploy environments will help bridge the technical divide and provide the ability to review changes to more users, strengthening Drupal’s user base. Read the entire announcement here on Drupal’s newsroom.
