So many Vercel updates.
Railway metal migrations and new, exciting Cloudflare developments.
And more!
PayloadCMS
Versions 3.44, 3.45, and 3.46 have all released since my last edition. Some features were added, but the primary focus of all of these releases were bug fixes.
There was a security featured added to 3.44, which requires a migration if you’re using a relational database. You can opt out of it, though.

The search plugin is a powerful, native way to have search within your CMS. If you want to implement it into your current project, you can do that by following this guide!
Next.js
Next.js v15.3.5 was released, which includes a few bug fixes, but nothing major. Most of the work appears to be going toward the Next.js 15.4 canary branch. They’re doing a lot of work on that branch, so I’m hopeful we’ll see a minor release soon.
On Vercel’s side:
v0 Platform API is now in beta. It seems Vercel won’t be outdone by OpenAI or Anthropic. I’m excited to work with v0 through the API.
There was an issue within Next.js v15.1 that allowed for cache poisoning. That has been fixed.
TailwindCSS
Surprisingly, there were no new releases in Tailwind v4. So, I don’t have anything to write here.
