Dioxus v0.8.0-alpha.0

This release is the first in the 0.8 series. We've merged a number of breaking changes to internal APIs and slight behavior changes that improve reliability and performance of the CLI and Signals.

We also are shipping a huge quality upgrade to dioxus-native, with lots more rendering capabilities, incremental rendering, custom elements, and more.

Make sure to check out the blitz talk from Rustweek 2026 for more updates on blitz!

This is the first of the 0.8 cycle, expect more feature-packed releases coming soon.

Note that due to changes upstream, the cli must be installed via --locked if you wish to build from source. We hope to have this resolved soon.
