Highlights include the Astro 7.1 minor release (more CSP options, custom pagination URLs, multiple dev servers, lower memory content collections), notable adopters using Astro Starlight for docs (Mozilla, Supabase, Framework, System76), a Webflow/CodeTV/GSAP hackathon, an Astro community event in Germany, dozens of new community integrations and plugins, migration stories from Hugo/Jekyll/Next.js to Astro, how-to articles, new themes and templates, and a large site showcase. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What's new in the Astro 7.1 release? Astro 7.1 adds more content security policy (CSP) options, custom pagination URLs, support for running multiple dev servers simultaneously, and lower memory usage for content collections. It is a minor release building on the Astro 7 line, focused on incremental developer experience and configuration improvements rather than breaking API changes. _Developers tracking Astro's release cadence can follow version-by-version changes on daily.dev._ ### What changed with default whitespace handling in Astro 7.0? Astro 7.0 introduced new default whitespace handling behavior, as documented by Cassidy Williams, changing how whitespace in templates is processed compared to earlier Astro versions. Developers upgrading from Astro 6.x should review this behavior since it can affect rendered markup spacing in existing components. _Anyone planning an Astro 7 upgrade can keep an eye on gotchas like this via daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@renehoehle** · 2 upvotes > The Astro team should chill a little bit 😌 Astro is a great framework. **@a\_saepudin** · 1 upvotes >  ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [What's new in Astro - June 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---june-2026-sips7nqvt) · Astro · 48 upvotes · 0 comments - [What's new in Astro - August 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---august-2026-c14k5plle) · Astro · 15 upvotes · 2 comments - [What's new in Astro - March 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---march-2026-dwn7ifesu) · Astro · 26 upvotes · 0 comments - [What's new in Astro - May 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---may-2026-bo5ujlvt4) · Astro · 28 upvotes · 3 comments --- Tags: [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#javascript](https://daily.dev/tags/javascript), [#astro](https://daily.dev/tags/astro) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---july-2026-71nqabj2u) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"What's new in Astro - July 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---july-2026-71nqabj2u","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-astro---july-2026-71nqabj2u"},"datePublished":"2026-07-31T10:43:54.282Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:04:45.994Z","description":"Monthly roundup of the Astro web framework ecosystem for July 2026.
