Release Notes
Drop the Neo Amp Neo is now available to everyone. Time to drop the suffix and just call it Amp again. Thank you to everyone who sent bug reports, gave feedback, and was patient while we scaled up the infrastructure to meet the demand. Over the last few weeks, we've made a lot of improvements based on that feedback. The infrastructure is more stable. The clients are more resilient. There is still more to do, but Neo now performs well for the vast majority of users. The latest version of Amp no longer includes the --take-me-back flag that let you use pre-Neo Amp. If you need to finish work in the old Amp, you can run a previous version: npx -y @ampcode/[email protected] --take-me-back
