EVE SHIPS SESSION COMPACTION. NEXT.JS TURNS ON TURBOPACK CACHE BY DEFAULT

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel

Eve 0.29.5 lands manual session compaction and fixes TUI cancellation, while Next.js makes Turbopack's filesystem cache the new baseline for all builds.

Eve 0.29.5 [1] is out with three production fixes: the `/new` command is now `/reset` across all APIs [1], manual session compaction via the `/compact` command preserves state without synthetic input [1], and a single `Esc` now cancels running turns in the dev TUI [1]. The team is also shipping cooperative `Ctrl+C` handling [2] that matches `Esc` behavior and requires two idle presses to exit, with PRs addressing multiline setup panel rendering [3] and adding `/new` as a context-clear alias [4] in flight. Over on Chat, Slack integration got smarter: channel IDs now survive the markdown conversion pipeline [5], so agents have the data needed to call channel tools, and the WhatsApp adapter's typing indicator support is finally documented [6]. Next.js took a big step forward by enabling `experimental.turbopackFileSystemCacheForBuild` by default across all environments including generic CI [7], with opt-out still available. The Vercel CLI is now inlining small static files for instant deployment [8], bypassing the SHA upload flow entirely while keeping symlinks and oversized files on the existing path.
