Vite 8.1.0 release with bundled-dev recovery and API updates (
63b1489)
Vite core is now officially at 8.1.0, and this release folds in a set of meaningful bug fixes and refactors around bundled dev mode, environment handling, and HTML/config plugin APIs. The package metadata was also refreshed, including updated exports/files fields and the new rolldown-aligned types in docs.
Bundled dev now preserves and replays build errors more reliably (
9a0dd48)
Bundled dev mode got a substantial resilience fix: build errors are cached and replayed to newly connected clients, and the server now knows when to defer or force a full reload based on whether the failure happened during HMR-stage generation. This should make incremental build failures easier to recover from instead of leaving the dev server in a stale or confusing state.
Rolldown updated to 1.1.2 across the toolchain (
4f008a6)
The repo bumps rolldown from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 in the root, Vite core, and playground packages. The change also adjusts bundled-dev and sourcemap expectations to match the newer engine behavior, so it affects both the implementation and its test coverage.
Create Vite 9.1.0 ships refreshed templates (64dfee1)
create-vite is released at 9.1.0, and its templates now target vite@^8.1.0 instead of the older 8.0.x line. The release also includes template and config updates like moduleResolution: nodenext handling and optional Oxlint/ESLint support for React templates, which improves the starter experience for new projects.
Plugin Legacy 8.1.0 is released (1239e94)
@vitejs/plugin-legacy is promoted to 8.1.0. This is a release-only version bump with no additional code changes shown here.
