Sep 1, 2025Month: 2025-09. Focused on stabilizing the Development Environment by correcting base path handling for pluginNonRunnableDev, ensuring replacements for __VIKE__IS_NON_RUNNABLE_DEV and __VIKE__DYNAMIC_IMPORT apply only to the base file path. This reduces failures in dynamic imports and query-based file access, improving developer productivity and reliability in the vike repository.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 — vikejs/vike: Stream Finalization Reliability. Delivered a critical fix to prevent premature stream termination due to incorrect isClosed handling. Ensured isClosed is set only after onEnd and controllerProxy.close(), addressing a race condition and improving stream finalization accuracy. This change is associated with commit 05b8467edb28e345d53410ebf889ae740dd2aee8 (fix: don't set `isClosed` too soon).

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 (vikejs/vike): Delivered secure local development improvements and modernized tooling to boost developer productivity and build reliability. HTTPS setup documentation was added to guide secure development by demonstrating how to pass createServer and SSL/TLS certificates to serve() for HTTPS. Tooling and dependencies were upgraded to align with the latest Vite, bati, and pnpm, improving compatibility, install consistency, and future maintainability. Targeted improvements to dependency resolution and strictness (via npmrc) and updates to the pnpm-lock.yaml reflect the newer toolchain and help reduce drift across environments.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Stabilized streaming in vike by fixing premature web-stream closure in React Streaming. Implemented a keep-open mechanism so streams stay active until explicitly handled, preventing data loss and incomplete rendering. This improves data integrity, rendering reliability, and overall user experience in streaming-enabled apps. Commit: 3128b2867cbad0a89ed46dc0cc63fa2bc341cbfa (#2435).
