Note: v2.12.0 was skipped. v2.12.1 is the first official v2.12 release!
New: Live Error Overlays
Snowpack v2.12 now includes Live Error Overlays to surface build & runtime errors immediately during development. No more searching around for what exactly went wrong. Instead, you'll see every problem surfaced right in the application itself.
To see the new error overlays, just upgrade Snowpack in your project and run snowpack dev!
A huge thanks to the Next.js team for the beautiful “react-dev-overlay” package template that these overlays are based on!

New: Vue 3.0 templates (incl. TypeScript!)
Vue 3.0 was released last week! To celebrate, we updated our Vue + Snowpack template to the latest version AND launched a new template for building Vue sites with TypeScript. Run create-snowpack-app with the new @snowpack/app-template-vue-typescript template to see it in action.

Exploring SSR
We've been exploring a better Server-Side Rendering (SSR) support story for Snowpack (in collaboration with members of the Svelte community) and this release marks the first features & improvements merged into Snowpack for SSR!
This is still an experimental area for us, but it's one we're really excited about investing in. More to come over the next several releases!
