Releases

Just in time for the end of the year, we released Astro 4.0!

Docs

The Astro Documentation is now running on Starlight!

We have also officially launched Astro Docs Docs (AD²) to help you contribute to docs! You’ll find all kinds of information whether you’re making your first open-source PR or a seasoned member of Team Docs.

Our weekly Discord call “Talking and Doc’ing” is a chance for you to watch Team Docs work in public, jump in a codespace, and contribute to the docs. This month’s topics included:

  • Building a new header component for our integrations pages
  • Establishing a community Glossary project
  • Discussing how to write/standardize Changelog messages
  • Adding a mini-showcase with links to themes using each CMS on our CMS guide pages
  • Updating our integration docs to include MDX components and Expressive Code
