on GitHub

A huge thanks to all of our contributors who made this release possible, including:

• @Akimyou, who fixed tricky issues in our HMR server
• @fubhy, who improved our process polyfilling logic
• and @MoonBall, who made several improvements across our plugin ecosystem, including a new config() hook!

⭐ NEW: Parallelized Builds

#808 - The build command now runs multiple builds in parallel, one job for every core available on your machine. Snowpack build plugins can take advantage of this new support by offloading computationally consuming work to child processes, allowing Node.js to parallelize the work. Several of our plugins already support this:

• @snowpack/plugin-build-script: Builds each file by running a CLI command in a separate thread.
• @snowpack/plugin-babel: Spins up a pool of workers to run multiple Babel builds in parallel.
• esbuild: Our default JSX/TypeScript builder is built with Go, and supports parallel builds.

The result? ~2x faster builds when parallel-enabled plugins are used. If your plugins are not yet built to take advantage of this feature, there should be no impact on performance.
