Previous release notes

Full changelog

Fast Refresh Dark Mode

Gatsby’s Fast Refresh modal now respects the prefers-color-scheme setting from your operating system. Depending on your setting you’ll see the overlay in light or dark mode — which is great because it makes the modal more accessible!

Improved Error Messages

We’ve seen many complaints about the unspecific error "Error page resources for <path> not found. Not rendering React". There are many reasons why this could happen so we improved our error logging to output the original error. As usual you’ll see the error in DevTools console or in your error tracker.

Consider the following example, it now shows the actual error.

Browser console showing the actual error

In development mode we also now show the original error when it occurs in gatsby-browser.js or outside of React components.

Contentful gatsbyImageData is stable

Contentful now fully supports gatsby-plugin-image out of the box. You can find the official docs for gatsby-plugin-image in gatsby-source-contentful the official contentful plugin docs

You can find more information on how to switch to gatsby-plugin-image by going to our gatsby-image to gatsby-plugin-image migration guide
