Nuxt 3.17 released with enhanced data fetching, new components, router improvements & more

The Nuxt team has released version 3.17 of their open-source web framework, introducing key enhancements and bug fixes aimed at improving the full-stack development experience with Vue.js. A significant update in this release is the reorganization of Nuxt's data fetching layer, enhancing useAsyncData and useFetch for consistent data across components, reactive keys, and optimized refetching.

A new NuxtTime component has been added for SSR-safe time display to address hydration mismatches with dates. The NuxtErrorBoundary component also sees enhancements in this version. Router improvements include the NuxtLink component now accepting a trailingSlash prop for better URL formatting control. Customization options for the loading indicator have been expanded with new component props.

Additionally, the Nuxt documentation is now accessible as an npm package. The update includes several warnings to catch common mistakes, enhancements for module development, performance improvements, and other enhancements and bug fixes to improve the developer's experience.
