react-spring v11 roadmap

[joshuaellis]

react-spring v11

Must have

• Remove any from public types #2541 [breaking]
• useTransition API rewrite #2540 [breaking]
• RFC: Reject unknown top-level props in spring hooks #2522 [breaking]
• Deprecate @react-spring/zdog, @react-spring/konva, and @react-spring/native #2518 [breaking]
• [bug]: SpringValue.set doesn't schedule update to interpolation on first render #2374
• [bug]: Immediate does not work when to is an array #2204
• [bug]: Spring Config function not called when using Imperative API #2186
• [bug]: Incorrect result type in SpringValue onChange handler #2183
• [bug]: Different configs per property not possible in useTransition()  #2136
• [bug]: when ParallayLayer is sticky, it disappears after start and appears at end again #2052
• three and web are incompatible #1586

Nice to haves

Wanted but not committed — these make v11 if they're ready, otherwise they follow.

• [feat]: Create an animation abstraction for spring and gesture #1826
• Physics-level spring coupling #2542

Won't have (this release)

• FLIP-style animations #9 — big lift, not v11.
• layoutId shared transitions — experimental.
• MCP server / AI kit — distribution play, separate track.

Ongoing (not v11-scoped)

• @react-spring/three: better TypeScript, 3D presets, a definitive R3F animation guide.
