What is Sanity?

Sanity is widening the surface agents can act on while forcing its own packages onto modern Node.

Sanity ships on three tracks at once: Studio, the Media Library, and an MCP server that now moves faster than either. The MCP server took three releases in nine days, adding CORS-origin management and hardening how documents and schemas are written. Underneath that, the JavaScript client and the UI package both went ESM-only in the same week, raising the floor to Node 22.12 and React 19.2.

What is Svelte?

SvelteKit 3 reaches release candidate: breaking changes are frozen and the migration path is open

SvelteKit 3 has moved from preview to release candidate, with the team signalling no further breaking changes before stable. Configuration now lives in vite.config.ts instead of svelte.config.js, and an `sv@next migrate sveltekit-3` codemod handles most of the upgrade automatically while flagging the rest as a TODO list. The 2.x line kept shipping through the same period - remote form `submitted`, a relocated `defineEnvVars`, and zero-config error page props.

Sanity is widening the surface agents can act on while forcing its own packages onto modern Node.

◆ Current state

Sanity ships on three tracks at once: Studio, the Media Library, and an MCP server that now moves faster than either. The MCP server took three releases in nine days, adding CORS-origin management and hardening how documents and schemas are written. Underneath that, the JavaScript client and the UI package both went ESM-only in the same week, raising the floor to Node 22.12 and React 19.2.

◆ Where it's heading

The MCP server is where the new capability is landing — each release either exposes another piece of project administration to an agent or closes a way an agent could silently corrupt state. That pairs with Sanity New, which removes signup as a precondition for provisioning. The package modernization is cleanup that clears the way rather than a destination in itself.

◆ Prediction

Expect the MCP tool surface to keep expanding toward project administration that today requires the management console or CLI, with the same pattern of returning corrective errors rather than accepting malformed agent input.

SvelteKit 3 reaches release candidate: breaking changes are frozen and the migration path is open

◆ Current state

SvelteKit 3 has moved from preview to release candidate, with the team signalling no further breaking changes before stable. Configuration now lives in vite.config.ts instead of svelte.config.js, and an `sv@next migrate sveltekit-3` codemod handles most of the upgrade automatically while flagging the rest as a TODO list. The 2.x line kept shipping through the same period - remote form `submitted`, a relocated `defineEnvVars`, and zero-config error page props.

◆ Where it's heading

The major is arriving as a consolidation rather than a rewrite: most of what lands in 3.0 was previewed in the 2.x line first, so the upgrade cost stays low by design. The centre of gravity has been remote functions and forms for six straight months, and Kit 3 mostly finalises that surface while pruning the configuration story. With breaking changes now frozen, the work shifts from designing the major to getting the ecosystem - adapters, language tools, community plugins - onto it.

◆ Prediction

The stable SvelteKit 3 release is the next milestone, and the team has tied it to RC feedback rather than a date. Expect the monthly digests to fill with adapter and tooling updates catching up to the vite.config.ts requirement before that lands.
