Major Changes

• #15819 cafec4e Thanks @​delucis! - Upgrade to Vite v8

• #16965 57ead0d Thanks @​Princesseuh! - Makes 'jsx' the default value for compressHTML

  Astro now strips whitespace from your HTML using JSX rules by default, the same way frameworks like React do. Whitespace and line breaks around elements are removed, but meaningful whitespace within a single line — like a space between two inline elements — is preserved. To keep a space that would otherwise be removed, write it explicitly in your source, for example with {" "}.

  This can change rendered output where whitespace between inline elements was previously meaningful. To keep Astro's earlier behavior, set compressHTML: true for HTML-aware compression, or compressHTML: false to preserve all whitespace.

• #16610 c63e7e4 Thanks @​matthewp! - Adds background dev server management for AI coding agents.

  When an AI coding agent is detected, astro dev now automatically starts the dev server as a detached background process. This prevents the dev server from blocking the agent's terminal and allows it to continue working while the server runs.

  A lock file (.astro/dev.json) is written when the dev server starts, recording the server's URL, port, and PID. This prevents duplicate servers from being started for the same project.

  New flag and subcommands

  • astro dev --background — Start the dev server as a background process (this is what runs automatically when an agent is detected).
  • astro dev stop — Stop a running background dev server.
  • astro dev status — Check if a dev server is running and display its URL, PID, and uptime.
  • astro dev logs — View logs from a background dev server. Use --follow (-f) to stream new output as it's written.

  These allow you to start and manage dev servers programmatically and were designed with AI coding agents in mind.

  What should I do?

  No action is required. If you are not using an AI coding agent, astro dev behaves exactly as before. If you are using an agent, background mode is enabled automatically — the agent will receive the server URL and PID, and can use astro dev stop to shut it down.

  To opt out of automatic background mode when an agent is detected, set the environment variable ASTRO_DEV_BACKGROUND=0 before running astro dev.

• #17010 0606073 Thanks @​ocavue! - Removes the @astrojs/db package as it is no longer maintained.

  The @astrojs/db package were deprecated in v6.4.5 and is now removed. This means the astro db, astro login, astro logout, astro link, and astro init CLI commands have also been removed.

  If you were using Astro DB in your project, remove @astrojs/db from your project's dependencies and replace it with one of the following alternatives:

  • Node.js built-in SQLite: Node.js now includes a built-in node:sqlite module (available since Node.js v22.5.0). This is a good option if you are using the Node.js adapter and were using @astrojs/db for local SQLite storage.
  • Drizzle ORM: If you were using @astrojs/db for its Drizzle-based schema and query API, you can use Drizzle directly with any supported database.
  • Other database libraries: Use any database library that suits your deployment platform (e.g. Turso, PlanetScale, Neon).

• #16462 c30a778 Thanks @​Princesseuh! - Replaces the Go compiler with a Rust-based version.

  The Rust-based Astro compiler (@astrojs/compiler-rs) is now the default compiler. This new compiler is faster and more reliable, leading to faster build times and iteration cycles during development.

  This new compiler is more strict regarding invalid syntax. For example, unclosed HTML tags will now throw an error instead of being ignored. It also does not attempt to correct semantically invalid HTML anymore, instead leaving it to the browser to handle, similar to other tools or document.write() in JavaScript.

  The previous Go-based compiler has been removed, along with the experimental.rustCompiler flag used to opt into the Rust compiler. If you were setting experimental.rustCompiler in your astro.config.mjs, you can now remove it. No other action is required.

Hey @dependabot 👋 — thanks for flagging this Astro major version bump (6.4.6 → 7.0.0) for the docs site! Here are a few things worth noting before merging:

• Major version bump with breaking changes — Astro 7 ships several breaking changes: the Rust-based compiler is now the default (stricter HTML parsing — unclosed tags now throw), compressHTML defaults changed to JSX mode, and @astrojs/db has been removed entirely. It's worth confirming the docs site builds cleanly and looks correct under these new rules.
• No build verification in the diff — Only docs/package.json and docs/package-lock.json are touched. A quick npm run build in /docs against Astro 7 would confirm there are no regressions.
• Scope not addressed by guidelines — The CONTRIBUTING.md focuses on human contributor process and doesn't explicitly cover automated dependency PRs, so a core team member should greenlight this upgrade before it lands.

If you'd like a hand verifying the upgrade, you can assign this prompt to your coding agent:

Verify that the Astro 7.0.0 upgrade in /docs does not break the documentation site build.
1. Check docs/astro.config.* for any settings that are deprecated or changed in Astro 7 (e.g. experimental.rustCompiler flag, compressHTML value).
2. Scan docs/src/**/*.astro for HTML patterns the stricter Rust-based compiler might now reject (unclosed tags, semantically invalid HTML).
3. Run the docs build: cd docs && npm install && npm run build
4. Report any errors or warnings and apply the minimal fixes needed to make the build pass under Astro 7.
