January 2026 monthly summary for TanStack/form focused on stabilizing DevTools form mounting in Strict Mode by fixing mounting errors and updating dependencies to the latest versions. This work reduces runtime errors in the DevTools workflow, improves stability, and enhances the developer experience when debugging forms. The efforts also supported release hygiene by aligning automation-related tasks (docs, changesets, CI fixes) with the fix.

September 2025 focused on stabilizing developer tooling and type safety for TanStack/query. No new user-facing features were shipped this month; the primary effort was a critical bug fix in the solid-query-devtools package that improved type safety and maintainability. The change targeted the JSX typing import path to align with Solid’s typing conventions, restoring proper type checking across devtools components and reducing future maintenance risk for the devtools surface used by TanStack/query users.
