DESIGN
Velocity5.0

Workshop for building, documenting and testing UI components in isolation.

Storybook's 10.6 alphas are mostly framework plumbing, with TanStack support taking the most attention

component-developmenttanstacktypescriptprereleaseaddons
◆Current state
The visible window is three consecutive 10.6 alpha prereleases. The work is almost entirely integration maintenance: TanStack Start behaviour, Angular-Vite peer dependency changes, an upgrade to TypeScript 6.0.3, and addon-level fixes for Vitest and syntax highlighting. One experimental Manager API for batching filters is the only new surface.
◆Where it's heading
Storybook is spending this cycle keeping pace with the frameworks around it rather than extending its own capability. TanStack appears in every one of the three alphas, which marks it as the integration currently receiving the most attention, and the TypeScript 6 support widening points at readiness work for the next generation of toolchains.
◆Prediction
Expect the 10.6 alpha line to keep absorbing TanStack fixes until it reaches a release candidate, with the experimental filter API either stabilising or staying flagged through the release.

    Storybook 10.6.0 alpha 3: addon and highlighter fixes

    Four small fixes covering Vitest prebundling, React Native telemetry detection, PrismJS dark mode, and TanStack route overrides. Ordinary alpha cleanup with nothing users would notice as new capability.

    Storybook 10.6.0 alpha 2: search and TanStack fixes

    Docs stories now surface as their own search results rather than story groups, and TanStack Start's document shell is kept out of stories. Both are narrow corrections within the alpha line.

    TypeScript 6 support and an experimental filter batching API

    The heaviest of the three alphas: TypeScript upgraded to 6.0.3 with the Angular-Vite peer range widened to match, plus an experimental batch API for manager filters. This is the readiness work that makes the rest of the 10.6 cycle possible.
