About PrimeVue
PrimeVue's 4.5 line has slowed to community patches and empty release notes
PrimeVue's visible output is a run of 4.5.x patches, and the pace has fallen off sharply — the most recent release in this window landed in April 2026 after a cluster in late 2025. Content is thin in both senses: the releases that do carry notes are single-line community fixes to individual components (Timeline, BlockUI, MeterGroup, Select), and several ship with no notes at all beyond a compare link.
