November CVEs Fell 25% YoY, Driven by Slowdowns at Major CNAs
November CVE publications fell 25% YoY even as 2025 totals rose, showing how a few major CNAs can swing “global” counts and skew perceived risk.

@expo/metro-configThis package contains the default Metro config that is required for bundling apps with Expo CLI. Refer to the Expo metro.config.js docs to learn more.

// Learn more https://docs.expo.io/guides/customizing-metro
const { getDefaultConfig } = require('expo/metro-config');
/** @type {import('expo/metro-config').MetroConfig} */
const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);
module.exports = config;
As of SDK 51, the exotic transformer has been fully removed in favor of the default
@expo/metro-configtransformer. The export@expo/metro-config/transformerno longer exists.
Most of the Exotic mode performance benefits have been integrated in the default Expo CLI bundling pipeline (e.g. less AST cloning, faster worker creation), and as such, the feature no longer needs to be enabled/disabled. Setting mode: "exotic" will no longer have any additional effects over the default.
Ensure you extend the @expo/metro-config/babel-transformer when customizing babel. Learn more: Extending the Babel transformer.
