Łukasz and Kuba come to the rescue with their roundup of React and React Native news. ## React and React Native news roundup We begin by discussing a bunch of recent news from Vercel: - A foundational release of Next.js 13.4 that comes with stable App Router, Turbopack in beta (which you can listen more about in [our Coffee Talk episode with Zack Jackson](https://www.callstack.com/podcast/webpack-callstack-experts-take-on-next-js-conf-coffee-talk-6)), and Server Actions in alpha. You can read more about the changes in the [blog post discussing the release](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-13-4). - Three choices for databases in beta versions: [Blob File Storage](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob), [Vercel KV](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-kv) with Redis under the hood, and [Vercel Postgres](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-postgres). - CodeSpaces, enabling CMS edits directly from your UI and making managing your frontend projects easier at scale. It’s bound to foster collaboration and speed up development involving cross-functional teams. Learn [more about this feature](https://youtu.be/0UJ3znqK82A) from Vercel themselves. - New security measures, including Vercel Secure Compute to Vercel Firewall. Next, Łukasz and Kuba discuss the introduction of [Canary release channel for React](https://react.dev/community/versioning-policy#canary-channel), which is to give the community the chance to incorporate specific new features into their systems before they are officially released in a stable version, as long as their design is nearly finalized. The last piece of news in this episode is the release of React Native macOS: 0.71 in cooperation with Meta and Messenger Desktop engineers. If you want to learn more about the release, [head over to the Microsoft blog post](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/react-native/2023-04-27-announcing-macos-71/), and our Coffee Talk episode with Lorenzo Sciandra talking about React Native at Microsoft.
