Sourced from i18next's releases.

v26.0.10

• feat: getFixedT accepts a fourth optional fixedOpts argument carrying scopeNs — the full namespace list the bound t was created for. The selector API uses scopeNs to detect when a path's first segment is a namespace prefix, without changing resolution scope. Resolution still uses the bound ns (a single primary string in the typical react-i18next setup), so plain t('key') lookups stay isolated to the primary namespace exactly as before — only t($ => $.secondaryNs.foo) selectors now route correctly under useTranslation([nsA, nsB]). Fixes the runtime side of #2429 for the react-i18next default-nsMode case. The 4th argument is opt-in: existing 3-arg getFixedT(lng, ns, keyPrefix) callers see no behavior change.

v26.0.9

• fix(types): unformatted interpolation values are now typed as string | number (was string). i18next stringifies values at runtime, so requiring callers to wrap numbers in String(...) for plain {{var}} placeholders was unnecessary friction — and could mask the real problem when a non-string value was passed alongside multiple interpolation slots (the t() overload resolution would fall through to the 3-arg form and report a confusing "not assignable to string" error against the options object). Typed format specifiers like {{x, number}}, {{x, currency}}, {{x, datetime}}, etc. keep their precise types; this only relaxes the no-format default. The count variable remains number-only

v26.0.8

• fix(types): restore the pre-v25.10.4 ExistsFunction shape so plain arrow functions can again be assigned to ExistsFunction-typed variables (TypeScript cannot infer type predicates through multi-overload assignment). Direct i18next.exists(key) calls still narrow key to SelectorKey — the predicate is now declared inline on i18n.exists. Custom wrappers that want the narrowing can type themselves as typeof i18next.exists 2425

v26.0.7

• fix: when a plural lookup misses, the missingKey debug log now shows the actual plural-resolved key (e.g. foo.bar_many for Polish count: 14) instead of the base key — making it obvious which plural category was expected and missing 2423
• chore: drop @babel/runtime runtime dependency. The build no longer generates any @babel/runtime imports, so the package is unused by consumers. Rollup now uses babelHelpers: 'bundled' so any helpers that are ever needed in the future will be inlined rather than imported externally 2424
• chore: stop emitting dist/esm/i18next.bundled.js. It was byte-identical to dist/esm/i18next.js because no helpers were being imported 2424

v26.0.6

Security release — all issues found via an internal audit. GHSA advisory filed after release.

• security: warn when a translation string combines escapeValue: false with interpolated variables inside a $t(key, { ... "{{var}}" ... }) nesting-options block. In that narrow combination, attacker-controlled string values containing " can break out of the JSON options literal and inject additional nesting options (e.g. redirect lng/ns). The default escapeValue: true configuration is unaffected because HTML-escaping neutralises the quote before JSON.parse. See the security docs for mitigation guidance (GHSA-TBD)
• security: apply regexEscape to unescapePrefix / unescapeSuffix on par with the other interpolation delimiters. Prevents ReDoS (catastrophic-backtracking) when a misconfigured delimiter contains regex metacharacters, and fixes silent breakage of the {{- var}} syntax when the delimiter contains characters like (, [, .
• security: strip CR/LF/NUL and other C0/C1 control characters from string log arguments to prevent log forging via user-controlled translation keys, language codes, namespaces, or interpolation variable names (CWE-117)
• chore: ignore .env* and *.pem/*.key files in .gitignore

v26.0.5

• fix: cloneInstance().changeLanguage() no longer fails to update language state when the target language is not yet loaded — a race between init()'s deferred load() and the user's changeLanguage() could overwrite isLanguageChangingTo, causing setLngProps to be skipped 2422

v26.0.4

• fix(types): inline formatting options like {{price, currency(EUR)}} are now correctly resolved to their base format type (e.g. number for currency) instead of falling back to string 2378

v26.0.3

• fix(types): addResourceBundle now accepts an optional 6th options parameter ({ silent?: boolean; skipCopy?: boolean }) matching the runtime API 2419

v26.0.2

• fix(types): t("key", {} as TOptions) no longer produces a type error — the context constraint now bypasses strict checking when context is unknown (e.g. from TOptions) 2418

v26.0.1

• fix: Formatter no longer crashes when alwaysFormat is true and no format specifier is present (format is undefined)
• fix: Formatter now returns undefined/null values as-is instead of producing NaN when the value is missing

v26.0.0

This is a major breaking release:

Breaking Changes

• Remove deprecated initImmediate option — the backward-compatibility mapping from initImmediate to initAsync (introduced in v24) has been removed. Use initAsync instead.
• Remove legacy interpolation.format function — the old monolithic format function (interpolation: { format: (value, format, lng) => ... }) is no longer supported. The built-in Formatter (or a custom Formatter module via .use()) is now always used. Migrate to the new formatting approach using i18next.services.formatter.add() or .addCached() for custom formatters.
• Remove console support notice — the console support notice introduced in v25.8.0 has been removed, along with the showSupportNotice option and all related internal suppression logic (globalThis.__i18next_supportNoticeShown, I18NEXT_NO_SUPPORT_NOTICE env var). See our blog post for the full story.
• Remove simplifyPluralSuffix option — this option was unused by the core PluralResolver (which relies entirely on Intl.PluralRules). It only had an effect in the old v1/v2/v3 compatibility layer. The v4 test compatibility layer now defaults to true internally.
• Remove deprecated @babel/polyfill from devDependencies.
