VitePress 2.0-alpha.18 is live with Node 20 support removed, while Vue's test utilities patch a critical bug that leaks emitted event history across component unmounts.

VitePress's latest alpha [1] marks a significant compatibility shift that requires attention if you're running older Node versions. The docs explicitly flag the Node 20 deprecation [2], so check your CI/CD pipeline now. On the testing front, test-utils shipped a fix [3] that clears emitted event history for child components on unmount, resolving a memory leak where descendant component events weren't properly cleaned up. This one's subtle but serious for test suites with component trees. Core Vue itself ticked forward to 3.5.39 [4], a patch release reflected in the docs. Test-utils also pulled in oxfmt 0.57.0 [5] and excluded Vite 8.1.0+ from its dependency updates [6] due to a known decorator test failure with Rolldown. The docs desk cleaned up duplicate German translations [7] and fixed several TypeScript and syntax issues across examples [8] [9] [10].

Action items

→ Test your Node 20 applications against VitePress 2.0-alpha.18 before production deployment vuejs/vitepress [plan]
→ Upgrade to latest test-utils if you're debugging unexplained memory growth in test suites vuejs/test-utils [monitor]
→ Pin Vite to 8.0.16 in test-utils until Rolldown issue resolves in 2899 vuejs/test-utils [plan]
