Everything new in Next.js 16

Next.js 16 is now available, bringing Cache Components, Turbopack, and refined caching, now fully supported on Appwrite Sites. This release focuses on fundamentals: faster builds, predictable caching, smarter routing, and better developer visibility. Key highlights include explicit Cache Components, Turbopack as the default bundler (2-5× faster builds), proxy.ts replacing middleware.ts, improved logging, React Compiler support, and enhanced routing with efficient prefetching. With React 19.2 integration and support for modern development workflows, Next.js 16 makes the build experience smoother and more predictable for developers.
