For up to date release notes, refer to the project's Changelog.
Please note: This is an approximation of larger effort work planned for the next 6 - 12 months. It does not cover all new functionality that will be added, and nothing here is set in stone. Also note that each of these releases, and several patch releases in-between, will include bug fixes (based on issue triaging) and community submitted PRs.
- Please report feature requests or bugs as a new issue.
- If you already see an issue that interests you please add a 👍 or a comment so we can measure community interest.
Approximate Date: 2023-05-12 (Beta), GA TBD after user feedback
Currently in active development and being shipped in a series alpha releases. React 18 users will get a lot out of this release since it introduces support for Suspense and (for you server-side rendering enthusiasts) renderToPipeableStream
. There are also new features added to the core as well. Here's a brief overview:
- Add a new hook
useSuspenseQuery
which will provide the core functionality for React 18Suspense
capabilities - Ability to use
Suspense
with@defer
- Introduce another new hook
useBackgroundQuery
withSuspense
support - Ability to use
Suspense
withuseFragment
- Server-side rendering (SSR) upgrade: support
renderToPipeableStream
for streaming renders - Support custom GraphQL document transforms
As we release each new feature we'll be looking for feedback from the community on performance, usage and developer experience of adopting and implementing these new concepts in your applications. Try it today: npm i @apollo/client@alpha
and let us know what you think! Once new feature development is complete we'll move this to beta and then GA once stable.
Approximate Date: TBD
The 3.8 release is a major milestone for the project's React support. Feedback from the community will have a big impact on where we go next, particularly as use cases for React Server Components and other React 18 features emerge. In addition to new functionality, there is a significant backlog of questions and fixes that we want to categorize and thoughtfully address in upcoming releases.
Release 4.0
will be our next major release of the Client and is still in early planning. See Github 4.0 Milestone for more details.
