Nx 22.7 Is Here: Task Sandboxing, 7x Less Memory, and Worktree-Aware Caching

The recent updates to Nx, spanning from version 22.3 to 22.7, introduce significant enhancements aimed at improving performance, memory efficiency, and developer experience. Key features include task sandboxing, which detects hidden cache dependencies via real I/O tracing, and a remarkable 7x reduction in daemon memory usage, enhancing both local and CI performance. The caching system has been upgraded to be worktree-aware, offering finer control over hashing and more efficient use of disk space. Additionally, Nx now supports faster cache restoration and has introduced improvements for AI agent integration, setup, and configuration, alongside expanded framework and language support, including Vite 8, ESLint v10, and updated Angular and Maven functionalities. Developers can also benefit from various quality-of-life improvements such as enhanced release processes, the ability to pipe file lists into commands, and greater customization options for formatting tasks, all supported by contributions from the open-source community.
