Chunk import maps arrive for faster cache reuse (
e180312)
Vite adds an experimental build.chunkImportMap option that emits an import map and switches generated chunk imports to stable chunk IDs. That reduces cascading cache invalidation for JS chunks and is documented across build, plugin, and backend integration guides.
create-vite now uses Oxlint by default for React templates (456901b)
React templates were reworked to scaffold with Oxlint by default, with a new --eslint opt-in for users who want ESLint instead. The CLI, templates, help text, and tests were updated accordingly, changing the default linting stack for new React projects.
Vite and plugin-legacy are cut for 8.1.0-beta.0 (5deed20, dc39110)
