This week's @viteconf.org was a LOT of fun.

It rekindled some of the neutrality/plurality magic from the old JSConfEUs. Like Switzerland. Bridging communities & frameworks. Folk cheering each other on, celebrating collaboration 🎉

TechAtBloomberg folk showed up in force - 7 of us!

Everything that is open source remains open source. Only Vite+ itself requires a license (also only when the conditions are met)

Rolldown drops CJS support!

From the latest version of @rolldown.rs (1.0.0-beta.36) on, Rolldown will only be released in the ESM format.

The required Node version has also been bumped to align with @vite.dev (20.19+ and 22.12+). Node 18 has been dropped due to being EOL since April.

Vitest 4 runs simple test files faster! You can already check it out by installing Vitest 4 beta. On average, Vitest now takes 25% less time to start the test. Due to parallelisation, the overall time difference can vary.

We are focusing our efforts on improving the time even more in the next beta!

A benchmark showing that vitest-beta is 1.17 ± 0.01 times faster than Vitest 3. On average, the beta version takes 710ms and Vitest 3 takes 833ms.
