Breaking, lockstep release. Most app code is unaffected — but existing fonts must be re-uploaded, and a few removed image options need cleanup (see Upgrade).
Fonts
- Now handles variable fonts and large files: uploads go through normal fields, so the old 5 MB upload failures are gone.
Images
<ResponsiveImage>is server-rendered now (lighter, faster) and builds its placeholder on demand — nothing changes in how you use it unless you set the removedfade/blurDataURLprops.fmt=autoserves WebP instead of AVIF: faster to generate, slightly larger files — setpreferAviffor AVIF. NewgetImageUrl()for one-off URLs.- Removed the
bluroption,transform.path, and the advanced factory exports — configure through the plugin options instead.
Maintenance
- Dependencies bumped (Payload 3.85.1, Next 16.2.9, Sharp 0.35.2).
Upgrade
- Fonts: re-upload typefaces (the
fontFilecollection is replaced byFont/fontOriginal/fontOptimized), then rerungenerate:importmap+generate:types. - Images: remove
transform.path/blur/fade*usages; SQL adapters get ablurDataUrl-removal migration.
