This allows teams working across time zones or making frequent changes to use the Preview Server seamlessly. When a Preview Server is stopped, you’ll find a status page with a **Restart** button, and you’ll be redirected to the preview once the restart is complete. ![Preview Server status page with a restart button](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/o0o2tn5x/marketing/5228dbfa01a7988840ffb3c5ca23078373c2518b-2244x1276.png) Learn more about Preview Servers in our [docs](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/preview-servers/overview/).

AI inference is a usage meter that measures the costs of using AI models and agents on Netlify. This usage meter calculates costs for using Agent Runners and AI Gateway. The new AI inference usage graph shows AI provider requests and tokens used across your Netlify team’s projects over time. To check it out, go to **Usage and Billing > Account usage insights > AI inference**. You can also review the [docs](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/billing/billing-for-credit-based-plans/monitor-usage-for-credit-based-plans/#ai-inference-usage) to learn more about monitoring usage and costs for AI features. Note that Netlify’s AI Gateway and Agent Runners are only available for credit-based plans. [Permalink to AI inference usage graphs Permalink](/changelog/ai-inference-usage-graphs/) - [ ## Buy credit packs on demand ](/changelog/buy-credit-packs/) October 30, 2025 Starting today, you can purchase credit packs directly from your Netlify Dashboard. Only Team Owners with a credit-based Personal or Pro plan can purchase credit packs. Plan Credits per pack Price Personal 500 $5 USD Credit-based Pro 1,500 $10 USD This gives you more control over your spending and allows you to add credits on demand without setting up auto-recharge. Previously, you had to configure auto-recharge to purchase additional credits. Auto-recharge is still available, but you now have the flexibility to buy credit packs at any time. For example, if you’re building new functionality using Agent Runners, you can purchase credit packs to cover the additional usage without enabling auto-recharge. You may still want to use auto-recharge, but now you have the flexibility to manage spending and credit usage in more ways. Learn more about [buying credit packs](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/billing/billing-for-credit-based-plans/buy-add-on-credits/) in our documentation.

Middleware is now fully supported on Netlify. ## How to use it Ensure you’re on version 7.9.0 or later of React Router: ``` npm install react-router@latest @react-router/node@latest @react-router/dev@latest ``` Upgrade to version 2 of the Netlify React Router plugin: ``` npm install @netlify/vite-plugin-react-router@latest ``` After that, middleware works out of the box. ## Next steps - [Check out the full React Router middleware docs](https://reactrouter.com/how-to/middleware) - [Create a new React Router 7 project with our updated template](https://github.com/netlify/react-router-template/) - [Read the Netlify React Router plugin docs](https://github.com/netlify/remix-compute/tree/main/packages/vite-plugin-react-router#react-router-adapter-for-netlify) for more on loader/action context and to access type-safe [Netlify context](https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/api/#netlify-specific-context-object) in middleware [Permalink to React Router 7 middleware now supported Permalink](/changelog/react-router-7-middleware-now-supported/) - [ ## Skew protection now available ](/changelog/skew-protection/) October 23, 2025 We’ve released skew protection for all plans starting with these frameworks: - Astro 5.15.0+ - Next.js This feature prevents version mismatch errors when users interact with your site during a deployment. ### What it fixes When you deploy a new version of your site, users with an open browser tab may still be running the old version. If they navigate to a new page or trigger a request, the browser expects a previous version of your application, but the server returns the new version. This version skew causes: - Broken assets and 404 errors - JavaScript errors - Degraded user experience ### How it works Skew protection pins each user session to a specific Netlify deploy, ensuring the browser and server stay synchronized throughout that session. To learn how it works more in-depth, check out our [skew protection blog post](https://www.netlify.com/blog/introducing-netlify-skew-protection/). ### Next steps - [Set up skew protection](https://docs.netlify.com/deploy/deploy-overview/#skew-protection) for your framework - [Ensure your framework can support skew protection](https://docs.netlify.com/build/frameworks/frameworks-api/#netlifyv1skew-protectionjson) with Netlify using our Frameworks API [Permalink to Skew protection now available Permalink](/changelog/skew-protection/) - [ ## Next.js 16 is ready to deploy on Netlify ](/changelog/next-js-16-deploy-on-netlify/) October 21, 2025 - [framework](/changelog/tag/framework/) - [next.js](/changelog/tag/next-js/) The [Next.js 16 release](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16) is here and Netlify is ready. Deploy the latest version, including Turbopack, React Compiler, and enhanced caching APIs, with zero configuration. - Turbopack (stable): Up to 10× faster Fast Refresh and 2-5× faster builds - React Compiler (stable): Automatic memoization for smoother re-renders - Improved caching APIs: `revalidateTag` with `cacheLife` profile argument for Stale-While-Revalidate behavior and Server Actions-only `updateTag` to immediately refresh cached data **Template update** We’ve updated the [Next Platform Starter](https://github.com/netlify-templates/next-platform-starter) to v16, showcasing Turbopack and the new caching APIs in action. In our tests, the project saw a 2.8× faster `next build` with Turbopack. **Upgrading to v16 on Netlify** If you’re upgrading from v15, no Netlify configuration changes are required. Teams that have opted out of automatic updates for Netlify’s OpenNext adapter will need to [manually upgrade](https://docs.netlify.com/build/frameworks/framework-setup-guides/nextjs/legacy-runtime/upgrading-or-reverting-adapter/#upgrade-to-the-latest-adapter), or simply opt back in to receive automatic updates. **Resources** - [Deploy the demo](https://github.com/netlify-templates/next-platform-starter) - [Read the Next.js 16 release](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16) - [View Next.js on Netlify docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/frameworks/framework-setup-guides/nextjs/overview/) [Permalink to Next.js 16 is ready to deploy on Netlify Permalink](/changelog/next-js-16-deploy-on-netlify/) - [ ## Enforce Git-based workflows for production deploys ](/changelog/enforce-git-based-workflows/) October 21, 2025 Now you can require all production deploys to go through a Git-based workflow. When enabled in your project settings, this setting prevents: - Accidental production publishes from the Netlify CLI, MCP server, or API - Promoting Deploy Previews or branch deploys to production through the Netlify UI This ensures that both team members and AI agents follow your preferred Git-based workflow before your project’s code reaches production.
