What’s new in Next.js 10.1

Next.js version 10.1 introduces several enhancements to improve developer productivity and user experience. This update optimizes existing features such as fast refresh, which offers developers a 3x faster code update experience, and further refines the custom image component by making it compatible with Apple's M1 chip through Squoosh-powered optimization. New features include the ability to create custom 500 error pages and extend TypeScript configurations, as well as Shopify integration for Next.js commerce, expanding e-commerce possibilities. Additionally, the release enhances preview mode detection and installation times, providing developers with more flexibility and efficiency. These updates, while incremental, offer significant improvements that benefit both developers and end users.
