React 19.3 – React

React 19.3 is now available on npm, stabilizing two previously experimental APIs: View Transitions and Fragment Refs. The new <ViewTransition> component animates elements entering, exiting, moving, or resizing using the browser's View Transition API, with support for custom animations via addTransitionType and integration with Suspense for coordinated loading of fallbacks, images, and fonts. Fragment Refs let developers attach DOM behaviors (event listeners, focus management, IntersectionObserver/ResizeObserver) to a group of sibling elements without needing a wrapper div, by passing a ref to a Fragment. React DOM adds a new browser() API to opt components out of server-side rendering when they depend on browser-only APIs, plus Trusted Types support to prevent DOM-based XSS. Server Components can now render Context directly from a 'use client' module without a wrapper Provider. The release also includes numerous other changelog items and bug fixes across react, react-dom, and react-server packages.
