- Added support for absolute URLs in <Link>: same‑origin links use client‑side navigation while cross‑origin links trigger a full document request.
- Fixed multiple bugs including shouldRevalidate handling, search‑params removal, hash router navigation, scroll restoration using pagehide, and SSR useLayoutEffect errors in CompatRouter.
- Improved compatibility and performance: React Router v5 compatibility, better FormData encoding, and defer call optimization by removing unnecessary AbortController.
