Vite 8.0 Is Out

Vite 8.0 replaces its previous dual-bundler architecture (esbuild for dev, Rollup for production) with Rolldown, a single unified Rust-based bundler delivering 10-30x faster builds while maintaining full plugin compatibility. This is the most significant architectural change since Vite 2, and Vite now sees 65 million weekly downloads with a new plugin registry at registry.vite.dev.
