Fresh 2.0 Delayed: Deno's Next-Gen Web Framework Gets a Foundation Upgrade

The Deno team announced a delay for Fresh 2.0, their web framework built on the latest web standards, pushing the release to late Q3 2025. The delay stems from a focus on improving Deno's core platform and the JavaScript registry (JSR), addressing compatibility issues with Node.js, and ultimately building a more robust foundation for Fresh 2.0's speed, extensibility, and ease of use. Fresh 2.0 will feature Express/Hono-like APIs, true async components, and a new plugin system. It's already powering deno.com and Deno Deploy in production, with an alpha version available for developers to test, along with a migration guide for existing projects.
