RedwoodJS Conference, September 26-29 in Oregon, USA
The first RedwoodJS in-person conference is only two months away! Details and discussions are happening here on the forums.Registration here: www.redwoodjsconf.com.
Today we’re announcing Redwood v6.0.0! 
The highlight of this major is a new bundler, Vite, Prisma v5, Storybook v7, a refactor to Redwood’s Router to use Suspense, and a simpler logging experience.
v6.0.0 Highlights
Vite
Prisma v5
Storybook v7
Redwood’s Suspense Router
Simpler Logging
Vite
Vite is a next-generation build tool that greatly improves development. One of the first things you’ll notice is how fast the dev server starts with Vite—it starts over two-times faster than Webpack! Check out the difference in core team member @KrisCoulson’s project:

Prisma v5
Prisma v5 is significantly faster thanks to a new-and-more-efficient JSON-based wire protocol that Prisma Client uses under the hood:
Storybook v7
Storybook v7 is Storybook’s first major release in over two years and is jam-packed with features and fixes:
Redwood’s Suspense Router
In this major we refactored Redwood’s router to use Suspense under the hood. This paves the way for streaming in a v6 minor or the next major, and React Server Components (RSC) in the next epoch. (But you can try out RSC in Redwood right now! React Server Components (RSC))
Simpler Logging
Out of the box, Redwood’s logs can be overly verbose. For example, here’s what you see just when you run yarn rw dev on a brand new project (scroll to really get the point across):

In this major, with the help of contributors from the community, we’ve simplified the default logging experience:
