[Vite 8.0 Released](https://vite.dev/blog/announcing-vite8) — A mega release for the popular build tool. Designed to be a smooth upgrade, there’s a _lot_ going on behind the scenes: `@vitejs/plugin-react` v6 no longer needs Babel (Oxc steps up), [Rolldown](https://rolldown.rs/) replaces Rollup and esbuild, Wasm SSR support, browser console forwarding to the terminal, and huge perf improvements. Great news for Remix, TanStack Start, and Astro users! 

Vite   

💡 [Vitest 4.1](https://vitest.dev/blog/vitest-4-1.html) has also been released with Vite 8 support.

- [Dan Abramov noted](https://bsky.app/profile/danabra.mov/post/3mgmxqsgugk25) that pages on the React site have a _'Copy Page'_ button that copies the page as Markdown (which you could feed to an agent, say).
