Changed

• <m>: 20% smaller.
• useSpring: 10% smaller.
• scroll/useScroll: Use main thread for all offset animations.

Fixed

• Ensure warning and error messages are cleaned from production build.
• Ensure values are never rendered before they've been resolved.

Added

• AnimateView: View transitions for React 19.3, built on React's ViewTransition.

Added

• Hooks for Motion Editor.

Changed

• springValue/useSpring: 80% reduction in time when retargeting.
• animate: 10% smaller.
• animate: 20% reduction in startup time.
• animate: 10% reduction in per-frame JS.
• frame: Frame scheduling 10% faster.

Fixed

• animate: Fixed path drawing calculations.

Added

• animate.addEffect() for registering effects that lets animate drive non-DOM subjects alongside DOM elements.
• threeEffect (motion/three) supporting Three.js objects, materials, shader uniforms, TSL uniform nodes and more.
• vgpuEffect (motion/vgpu) supporting shared uniforms, Effect/Draw/Compute bindings ("params.time"), scene nodes, cameras, lights, materials, orbit controls, CSS colors and vector components.
• createEffect now accepts test, read and step options and exposes bound motion values via effect.get().

Changed

• Reduced filesize and improved performance of spring.
• MotionValueState no longer caches values in latest; effect renders read their motion values directly. set() drops its useDefaultValueType argument.

Added

• Reorder: Multidimensional reorder.
• Reorder: Automatic axis detection.
• Reorder: RTL support.

Added

• Hardware acceleration for backgroundColor in supported browsers.
• Hardware acceleration for SVG elements.

Fixed

• AnimatePresence: Exiting children no longer interleave with entering children, which could reorder and remount children present in both renders.
• motion: Throw error when passing a custom motion component an incorrect ref type.

Changed

• animateView: Layers are automatically grouped to match their DOM-hierarchy. New .group(false) method opts-out.

Fixed

• animateView: Auto-crop is now aspect-ratio aware, disabling crops for matching aspect-ratios.
• animateView: Disabled automatic border-radius animation.

Added

• animateView: Moves from Motion+ Early Access and alpha to main library.
• animateView: .add() resolves a CSS selector or Element to automatically generate, apply and remove view-transition-name.
• animateView: .new() and .old() configures values to animate on new and old layers.
• animateView: .layout() can set a custom transition on the size/position animation of the currently selected elements.
• animateView: Group layers now automatically crop with children set to cover, with border-radius animating from old radius to new. .crop(false) disables this behaviour.
• animateView: .class(name) tags currently selected elements with a view-transition-class as a custom CSS hook.

Fixed

• AnimatePresence: Prevent stuck exit animations when children interrupt.
• drag: Child e.stopPropagation() no longer break drag end.
• Fixing Next.js OOM on Windows when importing via motion package.
• animateLayout: Improve handling of parallel/interleaved calls.

Changed

• animateView: .enter() and .exit() now refer specifically to new and old layers where there are no matching old or new layers.
• animateView: Interrupted transition setups now return resolved animation rather than throwing.

Added

• path option to transition.
• arc() for motion along an arc.

Added

• Support for repeatType and repeatDelay in animation sequences.

Fixed

• Variants: Re-run keyframe animations when switching between variant labels even when they share identical keyframe arrays.
• Drag: Preserve in-flight motion value animations across React 19 reorder unmount/remount so dragSnapToOrigin no longer leaves the drag transform stranded after a layout swap.
• LazyMotion: Share React contexts between the framer-motion and framer-motion/m (and therefore motion/react and motion/react-m) CJS bundles so that <m.div> from the /m subpath picks up features loaded by <LazyMotion> from the main entry point.
• useScroll: Support hydrating target and container refs from anywhere in the tree.
• Drag: Gesture no longer starts from incorrect start point when rendered inside <AnimatePresence initial={false} />.
• Drag: dragConstraints, when set as viewport-relative ref, no longer break on scroll.§
• Updated visualElement hydration order.
• useAnimate: Now respects skipAnimations.
• AnimatePresence: Fix object-form initial values not applied on re-entry after exit completes.
• scroll: Fixed callback progress when tracking an element.
• useScroll: Fix hardware acceleration when tracking an element.

Added

• Added layoutAnchor prop to configure custom anchor point for resolving relative projection boxes.

Fixed

• Reorder: Fix axis switching after window resize.
• Reorder: Fix with virtualised lists.
• AnimatePresence: Ensure children are removed when exit animation matches current values.

Added

• Support for hardware accelerating "start" and "end" offsets in scroll and useScroll.
• Support for oklch, oklab, lab, lch, color, color-mix, light-dark color types.

Fixed

• Fix whileInView with client-side navigation.
• Fix draggable elements when layout updates due to surrounding element re-renders.
• Improved memory pressure of layout animations.
• Ensure motion value returned from useSpring reports correct isAnimating().

Added

• Allow dragSnapToOrigin to accept "x" or "y" for per-axis snapping.
• Added axis-locked layout animations with layout="x" and layout="y".
• Added skipInitialAnimation to useSpring.

Fixed
