Starlight `v0.11.0` has been released:

- https://github.com/withastro/starlight/releases/tag/%40astrojs%2Fstarlight%400.11.0

One of the most anticipated features is the ability to override components:

- https://starlight.astro.build/guides/overriding-components/
- Demo video
  - Really easy to use but also very powerful
  - Already used for example by starlight-blog integration to override the UI with all the features required by a blog
  - New huge feature so feel free to share what you come up with!
  - Other changes:
    - [Vietnamese UI translation](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/pull/807)
    - [New configurable `titleDelimiter` option](https://starlight.astro.build/reference/configuration/#titledelimiter)
    - [Sidebar accessibility and UI improvements](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/pull/756)
    - [Support for custom HTML attributes to sidebar links](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/pull/774)

Also _huge_ community effort to translate the new doc guides and references for component overrides ([more than 20+ i18n pull requests](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Aupdated-desc+i18n+created%3A%3E2023-10-06) since the last release)

    We already have a ton of new content drafted for:

    - [first-time contributors](https://astro-docs-docs.netlify.app/first-time/2-good-first-contributions/)
    - explaining the process for [adding documentation along with a new feature](https://astro-docs-docs.netlify.app/guides/new-feature-docs/) you add to Astro itself
    - [guidance for how to review a PR](https://astro-docs-docs.netlify.app/reviewers/1-reviewing-prs/) (all Sarah's editing tips and tricks!) for maintainers and Team Docs members who want to contribute by "Editing a PR like Sarah does" and learn more about technical writing and editing.

2. New Extend the tutorial mini-tutorials in the works!
    - PR: https://github.com/withastro/docs/pull/4876
    - Preview: 
        - View Transitions: https://deploy-preview-4876--astro-docs-2.netlify.app/en/extend/add-view-transitions/
