In partnership with
Astro 6.0 dropped this week, and we're going all in!
This issue is dedicated entirely to the latest release, from the release itself to day-one platform support, a new CMS partnership, and a first-look video to walk you through it all. Grab a coffee.
Astro 6.0 brings a built-in Fonts API, stable Live Content Collections and Content Security Policy, a redesigned dev server with true production parity, and more.
Chris Pennington walks through every major feature in Astro 6.0, separating what's stable from what's experimental and what's clearly laying groundwork for Astro 7.0.
The Git-based CMS is now sponsoring Astro, with plans for deeper technical collaboration and an official integration guide. Plus, an Astro Challenge running March 12–19 with a $1,500 prize pool!
CloudCannon's new starter ships with 30+ Astro components, a design token system, and built-in visual editing configuration, giving teams a complete, production-ready foundation for marketing sites without the integration work.
Netlify shipped day-one support for Astro 6.0, with one important migration note: import.meta.env values are now inlined at build time, so runtime secrets should move to process.env before upgrading.
