Astro 5.3 is here with faster page rendering, easier setup for experimental sessions, and more! It’s the season of love, and you’re sure to fall for these improvements to Astro: Faster page rendering, Automatic session storage setup, More control over Netlify bundling, Improved handling of HEAD requests. To upgrade an existing project, use the automated @astrojs/upgrade CLI tool. Faster page rendering: Astro will only render components asynchronously if they contain an async function call, resulting in significant speedup for rendering synchronous components. Automatic session storage setup: Astro now automatically sets up the session storage for you when using a supported adapter, such as @astrojs/node and @astrojs/netlify. Stay tuned for more default driver support in the future. Enjoy the faster rendering times and easier session management with Astro 5.3!
