Recently shipped a build timings flag, faster content sync for large collections, and React island link fixes.

Builds can now show where time goes. `astro build --timings` prints a per-phase summary when the build finishes, covering integrations, Markdown processing, syntax highlighting, and image processing, so you can see what to optimize first. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#astro@7-4-0]

Content sync got much faster for large collections. With `experimental.collectionStorage: "chunked"`, the chunking step on a store of roughly 44k entries dropped from about 60 seconds to under a second, with byte-identical output. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#astro@7-4-2]

React islands keep the links their components render. Component-rendered stylesheets, preloads, and modulepreloads now survive server rendering, along with React's automatic resource hints. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#@astrojs/react@7-1-3]

Several adapter fixes landed for common breakage:

- Astro on Cloudflare no longer returns a 404 when a browser revalidates a cached local image with `If-None-Match`; it now answers `304 Not Modified`. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#@astrojs/cloudflare@14-4-5]
- On Node.js 26, on-demand routes keep their request body when `staticHeaders` is enabled. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#@astrojs/node@11-1-10]
- Vercel builds no longer crash on unrecognized dependency-resolution warnings. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#@astrojs/vercel@11-0-19]
- `astro dev` with the Cloudflare adapter no longer fails when a server dependency requires `node-fetch`. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#astro@7-4-2]

The image endpoint now handles directories whose names differ only by letter case correctly on case-sensitive filesystems. Most other integrations on the 2026-11-05 release train shipped only the shared dependency bump. [source: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/CHANGELOG.md#astro@7-4-7]
