I fixed a race where an active browser session could look abandoned before its local save finished. Jazz now waits until the session is truly unused before reclaiming it, with coverage for concurrent session acquisition.
I made rejected writes stay rejected while a client reconnects or replays its history. Dependent rows remain hidden, and already-accepted rows are not sent back to the server that supplied them, so a permission change cannot silently retry the original write.
I made direct batches settle safely before their rows become visible. Jazz now loads every member and saves the recovery state first, so a failed load cannot publish only part of a batch, and an interrupted publication can be completed after a retry or restart.
I brought the Jazz guides and example apps back in line with how the project works today. I updated the explanations for server authentication, subscriptions, SQLite, the Inspector, and framework examples, and refreshed the generated MCP docs index. I also removed an unused font and added checks so the docs are less likely to drift again.
When multiple devices write to the same list at the same time in a collaborative app, the default behaviour is "last writer wins" — one write silently wipes out the others. I added a new merge strategy called a "grow-only set" for array columns: instead of one write winning, the list always grows to include everything anyone ever wrote, and all devices converge to the same sorted result. Once an element is added it can never be removed by a concurrent write, making it safe for things like tags or participant lists where losing data would be worse than seeing a duplicate.
I fixed a crash that affected Jazz apps when production bundlers left the browser broker worker's imports unresolved. The build now bundles that worker as a self-contained file, so Next, Vite, and other bundlers can start it without extra application-specific configuration.
Jazz has bindings for React, Svelte, and Vue, but if you wanted to build a binding for another framework, you'd have to dig into the package's internals. I added a new jazz-tools/shared entry point that exposes the core utilities — the helpers that turn a live query into a reactive, in-place-updated result — so external developers can build custom bindings without touching anything private. The React, Svelte, and Vue bindings were also updated to import from this new public surface instead of deep internal paths.
Jazz apps use a SharedWorker — a background browser thread — to coordinate data between tabs. The worker file was shipped with references to other files using bare paths, but bundlers like Webpack, Turbopack, and Vite in production mode couldn't recognise it as a worker entry, so they copied it verbatim and those references would 404, crashing every Jazz app with "Browser broker SharedWorker failed to start." I fixed this by bundling the worker into a single self-contained file at build time, so it works correctly regardless of which bundler the app uses.
The Svelte and Vue versions of Jazz were creating a brand new WASM runtime (a compiled binary module for running encryption and sync logic) for every client created on the page. If you mounted multiple Jazz-powered components for the same user, you'd end up with several runtimes all fighting over shared memory — causing "out of bounds" crashes. I fixed this by sharing a single WASM runtime instance across all clients on the page.
I fixed a cluster of bugs in useAll and QuerySubscription — the hooks that let you query and subscribe to collections of data — across the React, Svelte, and Vue versions of Jazz. The bugs meant these hooks behaved differently depending on which framework you were using, and some edge cases returned incorrect results. I brought all three frameworks into parity and fixed the underlying orchestrator that coordinates subscriptions.
I fixed a problem where session changes weren't properly propagating in the Svelte and Vue integrations for Jazz. In Svelte, getSession() now returns a stable handle that always reads from the underlying reactive state, so switching sessions updates every consumer without tearing down the provider. In Vue, useSession() now returns a computed reference derived from the injected client, so any template or computed value that uses it automatically re-renders when the session changes.
There was a tricky bug where a row created by a backend server would sometimes get permanently deleted on both the server and the client. The root cause was that when the server sends a row to a client without its full history, and the client later edits it, the server rejects the edit because it looks like the client is trying to create a new row without permission — and that rejection would flip an already-accepted row into a deleted state. I fixed the logic so that owner updates no longer trigger this incorrect hard-delete path.
I wired up type-checking for all the code examples embedded in Jazz's documentation — TypeScript, Svelte, and Vue variants. Before this, a snippet could have a type error and nobody would notice until a user tried to copy it. Now a broken snippet fails the build, so the docs always reflect working code.
I added a full end-to-end testing harness for Jazz's starter templates — the scaffolded projects a new user creates with create-jazz. The CI now actually builds each starter and runs Playwright browser tests against it before any release goes out, so a broken starter template can no longer silently ship to users.
The Jazz server was logging its full inspector URL at startup, which had the admin secret embedded directly in the link — meaning anyone with access to the logs could see the credential. I removed the secret from the logged URL and added a warning that fires when the server starts without production auth settings configured, so developers aren't silently running in an open state.
When a row has a very long chain of ancestors — around 300 levels deep — the code that forwards rows was calling itself recursively, eventually running out of call-stack space and crashing. I replaced the recursive approach with an iterative post-order walk, so deeply nested row histories no longer cause a stack overflow.
When the permission header for a piece of data arrived before the data itself, Jazz was incorrectly rejecting local writes. I removed a redundant authorization call so that Jazz waits until the full data bundle is received before enforcing permissions, eliminating a race condition that caused intermittent test failures in CI.
When a Svelte component imported a TypeScript file from outside the configured source root, the emitDts tool would create .d.ts type declaration files in the wrong place — sometimes nesting them deep in the source tree with doubled absolute paths. I fixed the file-writing hook to skip any declarations that fall outside the intended output directory and to only prepend relative path prefixes when the filename is already relative.
I added two defences to the Jazz sync server to prevent a type of denial-of-service attack called a "reconnect storm". First, I capped the number of simultaneous WebSocket connections allowed per client at 4, automatically dropping the oldest connection when the limit is hit and sending a "RateLimited" error code. Second, I added a 10-second timeout for connections that start their handshake but never finish, so idle half-open connections can't pile up indefinitely.
I found that the WebSocket handshake frame (the first message when a new connection opens) was being decompressed before we'd checked who was connecting. A malicious actor could send a tiny compressed frame that claimed to expand to gigabytes, crashing the server by running out of memory. I added a check that rejects any handshake frame claiming to be larger than 1 MB — since a real handshake is only a few kilobytes of data, anything bigger is suspicious.
