🍿 Minor Changes

• #4015 6fd161d76 Thanks @matthewp! - New output configuration option

  This change introduces a new “output target” configuration option (output). Setting the output target lets you decide the format of your final build, either:

  • "static" (default): A static site. Your final build will be a collection of static assets (HTML, CSS, JS) that you can deploy to any static site host.
  • "server": A dynamic server application. Your final build will be an application that will run in a hosted server environment, generating HTML dynamically for different requests.

  If output is omitted from your config, the default value "static" will be used.

  When using the "server" output target, you must also include a runtime adapter via the adapter configuration. An adapter will adapt your final build to run on the deployed platform of your choice (Netlify, Vercel, Node.js, Deno, etc).

  To migrate: No action is required for most users. If you currently define an adapter, you will need to also add output: 'server' to your config file to make it explicit that you are building a server. Here is an example of what that change would look like for someone deploying to Netlify:

  import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
  import netlify from '@astrojs/netlify/functions';
  
  export default defineConfig({
    adapter: netlify(),
   output: 'server',
  });

• #4018 0cc6ede36 Thanks @okikio! - Support for 404 and 500 pages in SSR

• #3973 5a23483ef Thanks @matthewp! - Adds support for Astro.clientAddress

  The new Astro.clientAddress property allows you to get the IP address of the requested user.

  <div>Your address { Astro.clientAddress }</div>

  This property is only available when building for SSR, and only if the adapter you are using supports providing the IP address. If you attempt to access the property in a SSG app it will throw an error.

• #4020 1666fdb4c Thanks @JuanM04! - Removed requirement for ENABLE_VC_BUILD=1, since Build Output v3 is now stable. Learn more.
