Zustand 5.0.16 tightens React state handling
Zustand 5.0.16 adds a targeted React performance improvement and fixes for DevTools serialization, shared connections, and persistence behavior.
This is a boring release in the best sense: focused maintenance that makes an already-minimal state layer more reliable in production.
- –Stops memoizing `getServerSnapshot` in `useStore`, improving React subscription behavior.
- –Fixes DevTools reviver handling for serialized messages.
- –Preserves shared DevTools connections during store cleanup.
- –Keeps external DevTools action arguments intact through `persist`.
- –Zustand remains a lightweight alternative to Redux, with hook-based access, no required Provider, and vanilla-store support. [Docs](https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand)
