# Community Call Agenda: 2024-05-07     ## Introduction Welcome! ### How to keep on top of events - [Astro Community Google Calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_g6re3u5gkl0mug3ktn1dibqhfk%40group.calendar.google.com) - add to your own calendar! - opt in to the `@notify-events` Discord role - Discord Events sidebar - click "interested" to be notified on a per-event basis! ## Core Update ### 4.8 (Matthew) - Rewriting, a way to reroute a request in order to render a different page. Idea is way back in September 2023. You have an Astro page, checking login status, etc. and return a 404, etc. / Was renamed to rewriting from rerouting. Fun fact: There was a chart to figure out which name is best. Astro.rewrite in Components, context.rewrite in Endpoints. It changes the content of the page, without changing the url. Redirect is returning a status code to let the browser do another request to the other new url. Can be used in middleware chain. Low-level feature. Not need it everyday, but if you need it, it's super nice. Experimental feature, to be enabled with a flag. - MDX integration v3, bluwy refactored a lot of internally stuff. Several minutes cut of docs build times. This is a big MDX integration refactor / major version. 18% faster :rocket: - internal refactor (new contributor), allPages object to keep track of dependencies for pages, etc... This makes it possible for multiple pages to use the same component as an entry point, mostly useful for integartions - another internal refactor from bluwy for content colletion build time improvements, related to styles and scripts - erika added a new radio checkbox component to the toolbar library - ben experimental actions implementation of his rfc, still looking for comments on that, experimental flag - chris proposed a change, which allows to pass your astro config to getViteConfig, which might help with Vitest. Override astro configurations, from getViteConfig ### RFCs progress - Move to advance the [`defineIntegration` stage 1 proposal (886)](https://github.com/withastro/roadmap/discussions/886) to stage 2. - Florian to present. - ~~Matthew to do call for consensus.~~ - lots of discusion about what the API should look like. - Is it too opinionated for Astro core? - Grab your popcorn and hop in and participate in the discussion! ### Helpful Core Links [Astro CHANGELOG](https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/refs/heads/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md) - see the latest version and what's new [Next "Milestone"](https://github.com/withastro/astro/milestones/) - see what we expect to release in the next minor version [Roadmap](https://github.com/withastro/roadmap/discussions/) where you can find and participate in RFC Discussions [Contribute](https://docs.astro.build/en/contribute/) - learn how to get involved and contribute to *all* the Astro repos! ## Starlight Update Two small patches have been released following our latest big minor: [`v0.22.1`](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/releases/tag/%40astrojs%2Fstarlight%400.22.1) and [`v0.22.2`](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/releases/tag/%40astrojs%2Fstarlight%400.22.2) - A few bug fixes - Improvements to the Russian UI translations Actively working on the next minor... as you might have seen in the #chat channel earlier today!
