What is Nuxt?

Nuxt 4.6 unhooks the framework from its server, and DevTools v4 follows the same logic.

Nuxt 4.6 makes the framework server-agnostic through nuxt/server, rebuilds typed $fetch, adds sessions and Vue Vapor support, and brings new dev error pages, shipping with Nuxt CLI v4. Three weeks later DevTools v4 arrived, rebuilt on Devframe and Vite DevTools with the full Vue DevTools inside it. Both entries are short summaries, so the migration cost of either is not visible here.

What is Z-Wave JS UI?

Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

5.0

Nuxt 4.6 unhooks the framework from its server, and DevTools v4 follows the same logic.

◆ Current state

Nuxt 4.6 makes the framework server-agnostic through nuxt/server, rebuilds typed $fetch, adds sessions and Vue Vapor support, and brings new dev error pages, shipping with Nuxt CLI v4. Three weeks later DevTools v4 arrived, rebuilt on Devframe and Vite DevTools with the full Vue DevTools inside it. Both entries are short summaries, so the migration cost of either is not visible here.

◆ Where it's heading

The decoupling theme has spread from bundlers to servers: Vite and Rspack became interchangeable in 4.5, and 4.6 applies the same idea to the server layer. DevTools now builds on tooling shared with the Vite and Vue ecosystem. Each step has Nuxt relying more on shared or replaceable parts.

◆ Prediction

The quarterly-style minors point to another 4.x release before a Nuxt 5 announcement, likely carrying Vapor support and SSR streaming further. The entries do not state either timeline.

Z5.0

Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.

◆ Current state

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

◆ Where it's heading

Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.

◆ Prediction

Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
