All Things Astro
summary
Astro 4 ships features for content sites: zero-bytes HTML-by-default with five client directives for controlled hydration, an islands architecture, and a view-transitions polyfill that simulates MPA screenshot animations. Core adds image optimization, Edge middleware, fast-refresh for JSX, and page partials; incremental content caching cuts doc rebuilds by about 80%. The team releases Starlight docs tooling, a dev toolbar that links to IDE and audits accessibility, and announces an ecosystem fund of $100,000.
